    Techs Brian and Mike came to my home to install the Receiver and the related speaker system. They set up my new TV with The Receiver and other programs functioning perfectly. They were terrific, hooking up all the wires, making everything neat and hidden. They were also very polite and friendly, helpful with placement of speakers and I am totally satisfied with their excellent work. I used to think it was my job to spend hours trying ti figure out all the wiring with stereo and TV hoookups. No More...Thanks Best Buy and guys !

    I was hoping this receiver would be more powerful than the Harmon Kardon 1710, and on paper it should have been, but it doesn't appear to be. I had to go with it though because of the ARC HDMI handshake issue between my Sony Bravia and the HK receiver. It sounds fine, it's just not a power house.

    I was super excited to get the receiver however should have looked at the pictures first. When I saw I could not hook up my surround sound system using banana plugs I packed it back up and took it back. No banana plug inputs Cmon Sony, you know better.
