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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as an open box item. . Got it home and installed. Beautiful unit easy to use great sound reproduction. Then came the bad...The employee assured me that everything that came with an unopened reciever was included. No it wasn't, no optimizer mic, no fm antenna. Well crap, now I'm out 50 more bucks to get the missing parts, plus the three hour round trip. Lesson learned. LOOK IN THE OPEN ITEMS AND KNOW WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. I'm happy with the reciever but not the Best Buy experience.
