The setup of this unit was reallt easy using the guided on-screen commands. Audyssey setup took about 15 minutes and it does make a noticeable difference, really impressed. The option to have 2 presets for the speaker configuration is really handy. I have one preset for two channel stereo listening and the 2nd preset is for the 7.2.4 movie listening. All of the ground speakers are Definitive Technology and I plan to replace the four ceiling speakers with Def Tech's as well soon.
The remote is very basic, but the Marantz remote app for IOS is very useful. This is my first experience with HEOS and it's been great so far. It was nice to see that I can stream TIDAL using the HEOS app.
I'm not a gamer, so the HDMI 2.1 Panasonic chip issue does not really bother me and i didn't purchase the SR8015 with gaming in mind. PS5 really has no issue and there is a work around for newer XBOX's. Even though there is a work around for the new gaming consoles, Marantz has already acknowledged the issue and has stated they are working on a permanent solution. Which i was glad to see and am looking forward to.
For those who may be researching this AVR and wondering how well various sources work with it, this is what's currently used as inputs and outputs
eARC works very well when viewing and listening to the various streaming apps from a LG CX OLED. Full Dolby Atmos comes through.
For those wondering about placement, this weighs about 40 pounds and i have it on the bottom shelf of an entertainment console that has tempered glass as a shelf. I'm not worried about the weight because the Onkyo weighed 49 pounds and sat on the same shelf for 7 years. The back is open, not enclosed and there is about two inches of clearance at the top.
I'm still tweaking all the settings, but even with just the settings I've made so far it sounds great and handles all the switching wonderfully. I'm new to Marantz and i like the experience so far.
