Not that great, gets faulty over time.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great product until about a year later, we started having issues with the audio cutting out, I wanted to blame my TV until I realized that restarting the AVR would fix the issue, now we are having issues with the volume not being correct, and random turn offs and it clicks LOUD when it powers on. The menu and navigation is also not very great. I wouldn't really recommend this, even at a cheap price.

Posted .Hi TheShadow208,
We're sorry to hear that. To isolate the issue, we recommend rewiring the speakers and resetting the unit to factory default settings. Here's on how to.
