For the money, it has great sound and provides a terrific set of inputs and listening options. Easy to set up, took five minutes at most. Powers my speakers well, with both bass and treble coming through cleanly. The remote provides a lot of tools and help to make programming easy. Note: It a two channel system, so would not be suitable for surround sound use.

i purchased this unit for my shop to replace a sx780 pioneer from the 70's that finally bit the dust. if you want something to make noise this does it but the bass output with the bass all the way up is almost none compared to the pioneer of yester years and rated at 100 watts per channel yea maybe with a rocket launcher. it does the job but on friday eve after a few beers and me and the gang really won't to rock out well the ol pioneer would blow the windows out this insignia needs a rocket launcher as it will not kick the living hell outta my old 70's klipsch heresy's no bass worth a crap.. i have a teac ad-800 cd cassette usb combo connected a pricey unit but love it,, a pioneer h-r 99 8 track friggin deck oh heck ye we jam some old 8 tracks too boston, the eagles, zz top, forigner, kiss, etc. the only thing nice about this paper weight is the bluetooth and remote, pioneer no remote.. but don't expect that good old stereo sound as it's a joke oh it gets loud but no kick needs a bass boost. mabe hook it to a 220 volt outlet to see if it kicks or fries yea and back on ebay for another pioneer sx780. what a joke.Read full review

Unit has many features and Bluetooth wireless, Front panel input for mp3 player. Treble and Bass adjustable from remote control. Does not have a Phono input, Also unable to label input devices. Unit does not display info from Bluetooth device or FM station info. One major problem is FM squelch is too high (not adjustable either) & unable to save FM preset unsquelched & in Mono for weak stations. This not good for areas with weak FM reception. Every time you change preset to weak station it requires pushing the mono button to hear weak stations. Other receivers do not have this problem. Their presets remember squelch & Mono setting. Other than that a good sounding receiver with many inputs.

If you needed a receiver to put in a garage or add music to another room of the house look no further. My overall impression of this unit was good. It is the first "Insignia Brand" electronic I have bought. Usually I steer clear of "house" brands for reliability reasons but I thought for the price I'd give this one a shot. Its a clean sleek looking "no frills" piece of equipment. Most of the functions are able to be changed with the buttons on the front but you really need the remote, so don't loose it. It's display is dimmable (can even be shut off). It will support 2 pairs of speakers to be powered simultaneously There is a switch for speaker pair "A" or "B". They used binding posts instead of spring clip terminals, which anchors the speaker wires very well. The Bluetooth works very good and paired with my Android phone with ease. Basic (+/-) treble and bass controls let you tweak the sound a little. Sound output was on par with some of my other amps (entry level) I have bought over the years. I hooked up some large JBL (10" woofer, 3 way) floor speakers and tried a set of Dayton Audio ( 6.5" woofer, 2 way) outdoor bookshelf's. The amp powered them effortlessly. The only thing I wish it had was one HDMI jack. This receiver would be perfect for anyone wanting to add a set speakers to a TV for cheap. Read full review

The sound is amazing for the price. Bluetooth has decent range. I was disappointed that there was no pre out on this model. My old one had preouts. I have it set up with a 4 ohm load. Works fine. Just have to make sure it doesn't overheat. When I'm going to jam pretty loud for a long time I point a fan at it.

The Blue Tooth connectivity is fantastic! What a joy to so easily stream my favorite playlists from my phone. I also have my TV hooked to one of the auxiliary ports and enjoy rich sound with my movies. Switching between speakers A only and A&B does not change the sound output level between the speakers. On my old system to hear my outdoor B speakers I had to really turn up the volume. With this receiver, my indoor A and outdoor B play at the same level. The only negative comment I have is that there is not a phono input and I still listen to my LPs. I added a standalone phonograph amplifier between my turntable and the systems auxiliary input and all is well with the world.

Have only owned for 3 weeks but sounds great using bluetooth. Hopefully it will perform for a few years without any issues ( reason for 4 star rating) . For the price ,its a good buy.

The Built in Bluetooth receiver has a much better range and less drop outs than my "long range" external Bluetooth receiver that I had with my old amp, that failed, but that is another story. I am enjoying the richer bass over the previous receiver that i had. So far I really like this receiver.

It has all the specs and weighs in heavy. I tried with various speakers and I cannot get it to sound any ggod. It is very thin and week sounding. You MUST turn up the bass most all the way to have a decent sound. There are no other tonal or DSP adjustments that would help. Be sure to add a graphic equalizer when you buy one.

I ordered a perfect, open-box NS-STR514 for right at $63. As a stereo receiver (left and right channel) with Bluetooth, AM/FM reception with the supplied antenna, a headphone output (1/4"; late night TV without waking anyone), a simple remote and easy to follow instructions and you have a product that can't be beat at this price.
