We had no idea what we were missing
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OMG! The clarity and nuance of some soundtracks is amazing. We thought we had a good surround sound system before, but this system is head-and-shoulders above our old one. Amazing.

Poor bass response
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Difficult review to write, on one hand the sound from this receiver is good, but the bass response from the subwoofer is poor. I’ve researched and tried everything I can to increase the volume from the subwoofer, but the receiver is very difficult to adjust the subwoofer settings, and even after adjusting the sub settings, the bass response is minimal and not what I had from my previous receiver. The auto calibration is not as easy as it seems. The Geek Squad tech spent an hour and a half trying to calibrate the speakers. He finally called someone to walk him through it. When diagnosing the subwoofer problem, one suggestion was to auto calibrate the system. Well, if Geek Squad can’t do it, I sure can’t. I never got a successful calibration. User error…maybe! But it shouldn’t be that difficult. While listening to music at a somewhat mid-high volume, the receiver continued to go into protect mode, even with the cabinet door open for ventilation. Overall, the receiver is ok. I moved this one to another space in the house and bought a different brand of receiver to power my A/V needs. I would not buy this receiver again.
