    For the price not bad. Just overall not great. To change certain settings you have to use amp menu which doesn't display on screen just on the tiny led on the reciever itself very annoying.

    Catch it on sale for under $300 and you can’t find a better value for a 7 channel a/v receiver. I use for five channel Dolby tv and the other two channels for outdoor stereo in two locations. Clean 145w per channel and HDR 4K pass through also.
