Does what it is supposed to. Never had any problems with the product. Design nothing special

The unit "freezes" again and again and then cannot even be switched off: Pulling the mains plug and waiting a few hours will remedy the situation. A hardware reset does not help either (if it can be carried out at all, because even with the prescribed keys pressed, it cannot be switched on for hours), except that of course the laboriously stored radio frequencies are gone. Interestingly, the internet favourites are not (!).
I have had the device for about 2 months now and am waiting for a possible firmware update. If that doesn't turn up and remedy the problem before the warranty expires, I will take it in for repair. Given the very reasonable price, I don't want to be confronted with the dreaded information "the device works perfectly" for the time being. It works fine for me for days, but ... As an alternative, I still have a "Kenwood KR-4140" from the 1970s, but at that time it cost almost 10 times as much.

Excellent value for money
I've been using this AVR for about 6 months now and I'm completely happy with it.

The amplifier worked for about 1.5 weeks. Even on Internet forums, the reviews for this amplifier are not good. Hands off!

The box is huge but it is good at a decent price, I wanted it for surround sound and it does that well. Several features i dont use so can't fully assess it.
