Good amp, but defective unit lasted <1 year
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought in June 2020 as upgrade to the 5.2 Ch Sony model below this. In January 2021, it started turning off and could not follow instructions to update firmware, so must have had a very rare defective unit. Before it acted out, it worked quite well with our Sony Bravia 65-inch TV and Sony 4K Blu-Ray player. Replaced it with the DenonAVR-S750H.
