I can only agree with the positive reviews of the predecessor. About the receiver, the sound on my TV, Apple TV and hard disk recorder running. One can the appliance without the Operating Instructions (for men a big plus) set. The remote has a pleasant pressure point. the Radio, which is run with me with the supplied cable antenna is, perfectly all stations. Heat generation is not an issue. For those who want to use no more than big box system really recommended. Highlight for me is the optical input. I have connected to the optical output of my Apple TV, and can play my music seamlessly from Iphone or Ipad. Who can do without 5.1, etc. is very well served by the receiver.
