Worst connectivity

It’s keeps losing my three Yamaha audio systems. I have to start from scratch every time.

When it works it works well

I’ve set up the surround sound several times. It keeps losing the wifi rear speakers. Sometimes I get them connected and other times they won’t connect but I can play audio on them. I wish it kept them as part of the surround sound setup but it keeps dropping the speakers.

Garbage

In my whole life I have never seen something like this. I am definitely changing my receiver to another brand.

Important missing feature

I have noticed the software cannot access the full system settings. Using the tiny built-in display is painful. That is the only disappointment 😁. It is a beautiful piece of equipment and the software seems reliable so far.
