||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I like the receiver, the remote could have buttons just for bass, treble, and subwoofer adjustments. The only other issue I have with it is it can only handle 4 ohms loads.

Easy Setup

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Pretty good for the price
