    Lots of features for a straight 2 channel stereo receiver. Used two of them for a restaurant background music system. Exactly what we needed Bluetooth built-in was awesome.

    A special treat: I teach music, so the Bluetooth connection allows playing online sound through speakers larger and a quarter inch. iPads have remarkable sound, given the drivers used. But it IS wimpy.

    ive had some crazy problems with some high end receivers and the hdmi pass through ports. can i just get the sound from my tv, please. ive heard some of the newer receivers have eliminated thi problem, and so far, ive had no problems here. everything else is pretty standard - of course all the processing is great, wifi apps work well. it does what it says it does. and that makes it the best receiver ive owned.

    If you still like to power 2 to 4 speakers indoors or outdoors this receiver is for you. I have two zones set up and use it to power speakers inside and outside. My streaming devices stay connected at far distances.

    Excellent deal for the price. Sounds great and the bluetooth has worked extremely well. I wish it had HDMI and a phono hookup, but I'm definitely satisfied.

    Bought this as a replacement, it was easy to hook up and it has been easy to use. I really like that it has a remote control. It offers Bluetooth connectivity too which is nice. So far we’ve been happy with our purchase.

    Not what l expected , was thinking 200 watts would be a good system,it was more like 40 watts output. Even hooking up 200 watt speakers to it ,it wouldn't put out much . The reason l went with this is l read the questions and answers, the tech said an equalizer could be hooked up to it , false , no out put for it to hook up . The system by itself did have treble and bass controls but even with the treble all the way down and bass all the way up , was just straight treble. My stereo lasted 2 weeks, then quit working all together. I recommend spending a little more for something a little better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
