This receiver is available again for $249 with parking lot pickup. My bedroom receiver from the late 90's gave it up a few weeks ago, so I just ordered one. I'd say it's the best value available at the moment this class of receiver. I think there are a lot of people stuck at home tinkering with their home entertainment options, so this one went non-stock for a few days. It showed up last night with shipping available for a short time, and then went to "in store" curbside delivery only.

Acting like low/med end Denon isn't the same Chinese crap as low/med end Onkyo is ignorant as well. Only high end Denon is Japanese manufactured now and I believe Pioneer/Onkyo are the same company.

I've been trying to find out this info as well. A few forums stated that with a software update, that it DID support it. Let me know if you find out
I've moved to Denon and haven't had any explosions so far....
It won't be everyone's experience, but I've moved away.

To be completely honest I couldn't even get ARC to work with my Samsung tv. Spent 2 hrs trying to adjust settings to get ARC to work to no avail (yes the model TV i have reportedly supports this). After reading more about ARC online in researching the issue it seems to be fairly poor technology and you are better off using a fiber optic cable for audio from your TV. I got a fiber cable from monoprice for audio from TV sources. It is works great and after that. Before people say it was my HDMI cord, I tried multiple including certified premium high speed HDMI from monoprice.
eARC does support HD hi-res audio return which fiber optic does not, so if you really need that support from TV sources then you will want a different receiver. If eARC technology is as bad as ARC, then it may not make a huge difference. All of my sources are connected to the receiver directly with the exception of a wii U. That doesn't have high res audio support anyway so still get those through my other sources that are plugged into the receiver that is in another room from my viewing area.
I think the receiver is good for what it is, a budget mid-fi A/V receiver.
Never mind got it
Still have it but hdmi not working and I think I will go with Denon too.
