Awesome 4K receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver after I purchased a 4K TV. I was seeing a delayed sound (approximately a 1/2 second) with my old receiver combined with my new 4K TV. My old receiver was only a few years old and I could not believe this was the issue. I tried calling the cable company with no success. I finally replaced all the HDMI cables to 4K and the receiver to 4K. Now I have no sound issues and a much sharper picture. If you upgrade to 4K some say it’s not necessary to upgrade everything, but I found it to be beneficial !!!!
