Great potential. BT & Optical need work
"I installed this unit in my outdoor kitchen / pavilion to power eight 6. 5” OSD speakers (150W RMS each) and dual 12” 800-watt powered subwoofer. While the overall sound quality is actually quite decent, the unit completely fails on its two features most important to me. First, the optical input only produces a pulsating noise when connected to my TV, likely due to an issue handling Dolby signals, would have to switch to PCM vs Dolby signal from TV. Second, the Bluetooth range is absolutely horrid. My previous receiver let me walk all the way to the pool with my tablet; this one loses connection if I'm more than 3 feet away. I tested this with Apple, Android, and Windows devices, and they all have the same issue. I will likely be returning this. It’s a real shame they tanked an otherwise great product by saving 50 cents on a cheap Bluetooth module."
