Check it yourself.
||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.

Inconsistent sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this receiver to replace my 20 year old ‘Sony dream’ receiver system. It’s just not as good as the old dream. Doesn’t have the same sound sound quality, regardless on how much you adjust the settings. When you watch a great action movie…the sound is top notch! But when you’re watching plain old dialogue shows…like say YouTube, or sports…it’s very hard to find the right sound mode to match & get that dialogue clear. With the older dream system you left it on cinema b, or c….boom…great for everything with premium sound. Would’ve thought a newer system would be superior since it’s new tech
