an excellent sound
the terminals on the back is very hard to see for connection
So, I have used this receiver for a few weeks now. It is a good receiver with good features. It works very well and provides an excellent sound.
It is working perfectly with our surround sound system. My wife is now use it and doesn't watch TV without it. Bluetooth works great, no problems with connectivity.
The worst thing is the speaker connectors on it. They are lame. It takes a lot of effort to put the wires into the terminals on the back. There is a small slot near each terminal where you have to insert the wire and it's very hard to see.
In summary, I think this was a great purchase. It is priced reasonably and I am enjoying it. The sound quality is excellent and the configurable options are a big plus. My AV demands are small and this receiver does a great job.
