Customer Review

Have the device now for about 7 months and am now more frustrated than enthusiastic. As a pure amplifier / receiver the unit is absolutely worth the money. Switching between various HDMI sources and the "looping through" the image to the TV works fine and the sound is just awesome.

BUT: All functions of the device, the Web Site in any function of the network, are for the bucket. It begins so that the device requires ages, at all to gain access to the network (Obtain an IP address, etc.), even though I do not work linked via wireless, but cables. Control of vTuners (Internet radio) is so modest that you have to turn on the TV for to select a station and connecting takes ages.
vTuner is working at the time even now no longer because there is probably a problem with a server (according to statements in the Community).
The advertised AirPlay only works for audio and not video. It is always spoken in all specifications of airplay of picture and sound. That a pure radio may not be a picture / video, I realize, but this device has indeed a "screen" is connected and capable of percolating the video in theory ...
There are many more deficiencies (see Posts my predecessors) and features that are simply not mature. The support it seems to be either matter, or they do not know how they can solve the problem.
If I could, I would return the device, but after 6 months usage that is probably no longer easily possible.
