[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best home receiver yet. This receiver came with a booklet that has a QR code on it for the instructions to connect your network, computer, phone, use Bluetooth, TV, Wi-Fi and more. I was pleasantly surprised when opening my JBL receiver MA 510. This receiver was so clean and simple in design. The black glass like finish gives a look of sophistication yet playfulness. The front of the receiver has lighting that can dim. Two easy to turn knobs one controls volume one is a controller and push buttons for further controls. The back of the receiver is full of ways to connect your receiver to your network, speakers, listening devices and more. There are ports for USB and Optical in port. HDMI has four ports in and one out port. Surround sound, center and front connections to speakers. This receiver has a either net and coaxial input and additional ways to connect to subwoofers. All in this beautiful crystal clear sounding 5.2 channel receiver with amazing depth of bass. Great sound for a midsized room system.

Replaced a sound bar with this system. Excellent product. Easy setup and functions. May also purchase the MAH 710.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL's new Stage 2 series speakers (Stage 250B), subwoofer (Stage 220P), and MA series receiver (MA510) provide dynamic and crisp listening for music, movies, and audio of all sorts. Upon receiving this set up, I was thrilled as I removed each piece from the carefully packaged boxes. As I've come to expect with JBL products, you can feel the quality of each speaker, the subwoofer, and the receiver. The Espresso-colored speakers and subwoofer are dark wood-toned, giving a clean and classic look to a powerful sound system. The receiver is encased in durable metal. Each piece has anti-slip pads to keep the set up stable. Overall, it's a beautiful, clean set up that somehow helps put a room together like a piece of art. Set up was an absolute cinch. By design, JBL makes it simple to connect the wire to each connection. Every connection, port, and button is clearly labeled. I'm no professional, but I've wired up a few speaker systems before. JBL found a way to make the process even simpler for quick set up right out of the box, and each piece pairs up effortlessly. I set up two speakers and one subwoofer, but JBL engineered this so that you can add more to fit your custom setup. For functionality, JBL hit the nail on the head for those who want straightforward controls whether on the unit itself or on the portable remote. You can easily make adjustments to have the sound exactly as you wish, and JBL did a great job of keeping the controls simple. For myself, I utilized the EZ Set EQ software which JBL incorporated with the receiver. With my phone, I was able to let the EZ Set EQ software tune both speakers and the subwoofer to effortlessly calibrate the perfect sound set up for my space.  Now, onto the sound. I've never been so excited to fire up speakers for a movie. Thankfully, these did not disappoint in the slightest. All audio from movies and TV shows, whether an action-packed scene, character dialogue, or even something subtle like rain falling, is so beautifully crisp and clean. The sound is so crystal clear no matter if a scene or song is quiet or loud. The bass provides effortless "thump" if you want to feel like you're at a concert or part of the movie. Everything combined provides a true home-theater feel. Overall, I found this system to be a masterpiece. From the simple setup, to the ease of customizing the sound, to the amazing sound quality while enjoying movies, shows, music, and anything audio-related, I'm enamored by the quality and care put into each piece. JBL dotted their I's and crossed their T's when engineering these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL MA510 receiver has top of the line performance while keeping the user in mind in regards to it's simplicity. Getting it setup out of the box is as easy as plugging everything in and booting it up. It has 5.2 surround sound capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity for playing music from your phone, as well as the ability to connect to WIFI in your home! I love that it has on screen controls through the HDMI so you don't have to read the screen on the receiver as well as easy to access preset EQ settings. The remote to control the receiver works great but doesn't have illuminating buttons so can be hard to see in the dark. Overall, the JBL MA510 produces super high quality and loud sound while still maintaining the easy to use form factor. It's a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size that packs a punch! Perfect size to sit anywhere you can think of. Remote works great and easy to use and understand. The functions take some getting use to but when you figure them out it's great. Only gave 4 stars due to the speaker wire hook ups. They are small and hard to get wire into. The design is great and awesome looking all but the wire hookups. The dimmer works great and the knobs are sensitive which is great. There is so many different hookups this can work for anything from plug and play to HDMI hookups! Another great product for sure.
