  Nice. So that will handle 5.1.2, and HDMI 2.2. High power per channel

    Actually this will do 7.1.2

    Have a look at the speaker outputs on the back, 9 channels powered but the height channels are likely to be much less power.

      Hmm yeah. Very odd how they market it and specify it.

      I'm doing my room design now and anything other than 5.1.2 just seems so unbalanced. Like even with 5.1.2 I have 4 speakers close to my head and the most important speakers furthest away. I can understand many more speakers in a theatre but not a medium domestic room.

      Its actually 7.1 or 5.1.2, as the 2 other channels will the ceiling speakers

  Nice price. So tempting. :-/

    Mobe1969 on 19/09/2017 - 22:19

    Yeah. I'll be in the market for a new receiver as I'm finally building my movie room, and had decided on 5.1.2 based room size, so this hits the spot. I'm so used toward like only though I'll have to read the manual to see if it will end ok

  Does Google cast mean Chromecast audio?

  • 

    soandso on 19/09/2017 - 22:37

    Google Cast
    The SC-LX501 has Google Cast, the same
    technology behind Chromecast built-in, so you
    can use your mobile device to cast your favorite
    music, radio, or podcasts to your speaker. You
    can control the audio from anywhere in the house using Cast-enabled
    apps running on your personal device—iPhone, iPad, Android phone
    and tablet, Mac and Windows laptop, and Chromebook. Discover
    Cast-enabled apps at g.co/cast/audioapps.
    * Google Cast will be available with future firmware update.

  I bought one of the early cheap Chinese class d portable amplifiers about 10 years ago that cost £25 and ran on batteries. It sounded just as good as my £1500 Orelle amplifier. It was at that moment that I realised how much snake oil there was in hifi. It's great to see them now putting these cheap amps in expensive looking boxes and selling them for a fortune to unsuspecting buyers.

  Great features. Not a huge fan of the Class D sound though.

  What is Class D exactly (in which way does it sound different)? Would this be exactly the same as the models sold here? And warranty? Thanks

  Does anyone know whether this receiver supports Dolby Vision passthrough? The datasheet specifies HDR10 only but says nothing about Dolby Vision.

  Also only 3 HDMI inputs support HDCP 2.2
