    Solid unit, nice features, but I would have to say the listed output vs actual might be a bit misleading. Great unit for a budget system just not the 100 watts per channel.

    Purchased for an entry level system for a relative. Works for a simple setup. Would be a better value if it had an optical input but it’s an easy fix with an adapter.

    The unit just shuts off after a period of time. The unit was a refurbished one that was supposedly returned simply because the buyer didn't want it with no other reason given. I realize it is a lower end unit but I wish it had an LED in the on/off button or near it so it would be easy to find in the dark.

    Very good basic unit as it was to replace one burned out. Does not have some of the newer connections, but one of the few that has AM/FM.

    It tunes better than most receivers in that price range. I appreciate the digital tuning and the external FM antenna. I had to step up from my boom-box.
