audio resolution is limited to 16-bit/44
There s just far too much packaging for the receiver
from tiny buttons and the lack of a backlight
mic wobbled when positioned on our couch cushions
home theater systems can be complicated
a bit annoying and place the mic on top
it has an awful remote
The design is rather uninteresting while buttons don t
no backlight makes things a bit harder in the dark during viewing
Yamaha receiver fall behind a bit to the competition
good and precise as having real speakers
design was a bit clunky and as for that remote control
overly smooth out the sound field
