    On Nov. 18, I ordered this receiver as an open box/excellent condition item. It was shipped promptly, and received on Nov.20th. I unboxed it and hooked it up this morning (Nov.22). I should have simply plugged it in first. But noooo, I was excited and connected all the speakers/HDMI inputs and plugged in the speaker calibration mic first. Plugged in the receiver, turned on, and Nothing ! New batteries in remote - check. I tried to turn it on directly from the receiver - nothing. I disconnected all the inputs and moved the receiver to a different outlet - nothing ! I think someone returned this item and it truly wasn't inspected. Now I see no more open box/excellent items available. Looks like I'll be returning and waiting to see what Black Friday brings for sales. Really bummed..

    I bought this unit and used it with my monoprice speakers that I was considering to throw away. Best decision ever!! I’m not really experienced when it comes to receivers as I have always used surround sound systems. So I did not have a cooling fan ready for this receiver. The heating of the system after a few hrs of use was the only disappointing thing for me.
