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.

  Like the HDMI

  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.

A little different set up than I'm used to but the guys at tech support walked me thru it all. Very please with sound quality,

  Not reccomended for older TV's

Due to all the shortage of systems due to parts, was concerned about the quality and having to settle for something affordable. Saved a ton of money and got exactly what I was looking for!! Sales says great sound on a budget and I don't believe I settled at all.

sounds very good. I finally replaced my old 5.1 surround receiver from 1998-ish with this. The sound difference was clearly obvious and immediately enjoyable.

  easy on screen setup and wire connections.easy enough to operate, my 4yr old knows how to use it correctly.

Bought this amp as a gift for my daughter and future son-in-law. It is a great starter amp for their new home and home theatre.

I love the sound. It has a very warm sound and the response if fantastic.
