    Not worth it if you want to use all features

    This model had some significant defects. 1. The chipset which controls the querying of fresh video / audio signal on the currently selected HDMI port send to passively wait for the connected device to provide a signal (which won't necessarily happen if it's on standby). This causes the amplifier to go to a blank screen or simply NOT fully switch to the HDMI connected device. You'll have to force the device to give a signal and even then, the amplifier still might not switch over. 2. The video and audio of and HDMI connected device (other then the TV itself) will be SIGNIFICANTLY out of sync. After lots of tweaks to the settings, you might reduce it, but it's likely to remain to some degree. Everything else works fine, but these two flaws are the PRIMARY functions of the 4K HDMI Dolby Digital and DTS receiver. So, for me, it's not worth it.

    I was sold this discounted open box item without any of the other items that come in a new unopened box. Didn’t realize I wasn’t getting a remote control until I got it home. Returned it immediately for a refund.

    Was skeptical picking up an open box item after being burned on a previous open box purchase. Can happily say this exceeded expectations and performs flawlessly.

    It seemed to be working until I installed the app on my phone then all sound quit coming out of my wired Bose speakers. I guess it only works with blue tooth speakers once you pair it with the app. I returned it.

    Sounds great, works well, expected smoother spin of the large volume knob, has more resistance than I'd like.
