Overview
Not a soundbar or a plain stereo amplifier, this is a seven channel AV receiver that decodes Dolby and DTS surround formats and passes high frame rate video. HEOS streaming, Alexa voice control and Audyssey room correction round out the feature set.
Gaming features such as variable refresh rate, quick frame transport and auto low latency mode sit alongside eight HDMI ports. The HD Setup Assistant walks through installation. Power is moderate, so very large rooms may call for something bigger.
Who it's for
Movie and gaming fans building a surround sound room with several sources. Casual listeners with a soundbar, or large rooms needing high power, should consider other solutions.
Pros and cons
- Seven amplified channels
- Eight HDMI ports
- Gaming features: VRR, QFT and ALLM
- HEOS streaming with Wi-Fi and AirPlay
- Speakers not included
- Power rating is moderate
- Output wattage listed inconsistently
- Software update support not stated
Performance notes
Seven amplifier channels drive the speakers directly, and height virtualization and upmixing create a taller sound field from legacy sources. The Audyssey microphone measures the room so levels and timing can be corrected. Video passes through at high resolution and frame rate when the source and TV support it.
