Sound: I run it as a "stereo amplifier" with 2 large floor-standing speakers (4 ohms). The acoustic matching like without being obtrusive spatial inadequacies of. Compared to my "old" a real asset. Question from my wife 30 seconds after the first Klände are heard: "The new sounding better - right?" What more do you want !!! Operation: OK - Guide is initially only sometimes required for the basic settings. Key Labelling on device seeeeehhhhr difficult to read. Menu in TV: is OK and intuitive.

Here Onkyo has significantly rework (many others and what one reads in such a way). A good AVR is not only a good amplifier, but also at least a functioning media player.
