    Sound output is very good. Receiver’s internal system controls the output with no ability to customize the sound. Several output connections to accommodate a variety devices.

    This was the perfect addition to my family room but I added the 85 inch smart TV too. I’ve got it pushing seven speakers and a sub woofer.

    I had a sony receiver before and couldn't get the 4k passthrough to work. With a lot of work I got this one to work. The only downside to this is setting it up, not very simple.
