Amp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some trouble hooking up the Xfinity box and tv and remote. To this day the 3 don’t mix correctly but I like the amp. Great for movies and cd,s. This is the only use I have the tv had to be disconnected. So if you get one don’t buy a TCL Roku tv

UBP-X800-M2 volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a Sony UBP-X800-M2 4k Blu-Ray player, don't expect the volume control on the Blu-Ray remote to directly control this receiver volume. I was able to get the Blu-Ray remote to control the TV volume, which in turn was able to control the amp volume via the HDMI cable. On a side note, it does not cause my subwoofer to hum when the receiver is powered off as other amps do.

Great picture and sound for a no frills receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is absolutely worth the price of admission. It really does have great picture and sound even though it lacks all the wiz-bang sound profiles other more expensive receivers may have. Does really, really well for streaming shows and watching sports!
I would recommend this to a friend First great starter AVR
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first AVR and I’m really impressed with this purchase. I have this paired with my Sony PlayStation 5 with 2 Klipsch R-50M bookshelf speakers and geez this combo so far makes my windows rattle. I have no problem with the HDR setup and display like some people stated. Make sure you read the instructions that came with this AVR and you will have no problem with the setup. I can see myself having this AVR for a long time.

Easy set up, great sound and picture

The Bravia system makes setting up a breeze, simply hook it up, turn on the TV and away you go. sound balancing is easy with included set up mic. Someday, I'll make is 7.1.

Affordable 7.2 receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.7 channels is definitely the way to go for home theatre movie watching. Rear speakers can be set to rear, atmos, or front B mode. Was impressed with the sound quality ofthe front only surround setting if you only have two speakers. Multi speaker setting good for music listening.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a big improvement from a much older receiver. I like the sound produced from the speakers in my home theater. My only downfall, is after several attempts to sync the speakers with the microphone, the back speakers are much quieter than I would like.
