Overview
A first-time home theater builder gets a matched receiver, five compact speakers and a powered subwoofer in one box. YPAO tunes the system to the room, and MusicCast, AirPlay and Bluetooth add streaming and multiroom audio.
Buying everything matched at once removes the guesswork of pairing a receiver with speakers. Dolby Atmos is not part of the format list, and the gaming video features need a later update.
Who it's for
Families moving up from TV speakers get true surround with room calibration. Enthusiasts wanting Atmos or larger tower speakers should build a system from separate parts.
Pros and cons
- Complete matched 5.1 package
- Powered subwoofer for bass
- Keyhole mounts for wall placement
- Useful cable bundle
- No Dolby Atmos listed
- Only four HDMI inputs
- Gaming video features need future firmware
- Very heavy shipping bundle
Performance notes
Surround comes from five discrete speakers and the subwoofer, with YPAO setting levels and distances for the room. The high slew rate amplifier handles dynamic peaks, and Cinema DSP processing adds venue ambience. Compressed music enhancer restores detail in streamed files.
