Absolutely fantastic value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best value for the money ever when you can get the sale at 350. Even at 450 it is worth it, can do 7.2, or 5.2.2, works for Dolby Vision and pairs up well with the inexpensive Sony 4k blu ray players like the 700/m or 800m/2. Super simple on the back (unlike my previous onkyo) and has decent Bluetooth for the tablets/phones. It IS more for A/V than music though as I notice there is no phono input on this unit.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a av receiver to replace my old one that was out dated also the the new one had to have Dolby Atmos and was around my budget and sound great. This receiver sound great and Preform great.
I would recommend this to a friend Great receiver, newbies may need setup help.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver works great with my in-ceiling six speaker system that came with the house. Love the ability to bluetooth connect my phone and play music through the system. As a newbie to receivers, it took a couple of hookup attempts to figure out the way the wires twisted on and to figure out which speaker should connect where. The where issue was primarily due to my house's built in configuration, not the receiver's fault.

Not Loud Enough For Me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The One I'm Replacing Was Very Old & Finally Died,-But Amazbawlz!-This One I Purchased . ..Eh I'm Not Afraid To Turn It To Max.-My Other One!-Hell Yeah I Was Afraid. This Receiver Does-Not Work With With Head-Phone's & Speaker's Simultaniously.-When You Plug Head-Phone's In,-It Automatically Kill's The Speaker's!-What The Hell Is Speaker Button For Then?¿? This Receiver Has Automatic Speaker Tuning.-I Hate The Automatic Speaker Tuning.-I Want Full Control My-Self. It Does Sound Good.-The Home Theater Surround Set-Up Does Sound Accurate.-It Does Get Loud.-Not As Much Bass For Me,-But Then Again I Don't Have A Very Big Sub-Woofer.-[Never Needed It,-My Speaker's Shook The House Plenty!! !] So Eh It's Okay But A Downgrade Very Little Option's For Manual Tweeking,-VERY LITTLE!! ! I Would Recommend This To The Simple Audiophile Audiance.-It Does Every-Thing For You.-But For Music Enthusiest's I Would Pass,-I Made A Mistake With This One,-Because I'm Very Picky & Didn't Do Enough Research,-Because I Needed Some-Thing Fast. ..That's On Me.-Hope This Helped Some-One
