I bought this because it was set up with HDMI, I couldn't get my Vizio "smart tv" to recognize my older Onkyo receiver with all the other wire hook ups. The amount of volume to turn up 5.1 speakers seems excessive, and the volume knob is cheep plastic which I was surprised after my last unit.

  cheep volume knob

Great A/V receiver for the price and works for a small room.

communicates with the TV. perfect for family room movies. #sweepstakes

The speaker connectors are the spring loaded ones and are very small so if you have anything but small speaker wire they are a pain to work with.

  Very good menus for setup and setup is very flexible

  Small speaker wire connectors

Set up was easy. Still figuring out the remote. Sound is awesome.

It's everything you could ask for and more. This is my first home theater system and I didn't want to break the bank. This receiver easily powers my mind is 5.2 set up with ease. The only thing I didn't notice is that I didn't have Wi-Fi so I can't use my phone app.

  Lack of WiFi receiver

Upgraded a 1994 Denon AVR-883 to get HDMI and audio sync problems fixed. It's loud, auto calibration is awesome and it does everything needed for my home system. Great value! If you don't need WiFi (I don't) it's perfect! Haven't tested Bluetooth yet.
