Great option for an older stereo, and it’s nice that we can add this and Bluetooth so easily. My bedroom Sansui is controlled by the TV via a smart power strip with the TV plugged into the control outlet. Roku remote turns the TV on, easy peasy.

Mine was cobbled together as well when I was a teen. In the late 1980s my older brother upgraded, and his Panasonic quadraphonic receiver went unused. I gave him $10. It had originally been owned by our oldest brother. I can’t even find it online. Basic, low wattage, similar to RE-7671. Got my hands on some EPI Microtower M-75 speakers from a garage sale for $25. It wasn’t a great setup, but I thought it was. Added an older Toshiba turntable, a new JVC cd player with my HS graduation money, and eventually a new JVC tape deck. I later bought a JVC receiver that matched my other two components, and upgraded speakers. The Panasonic, speakers, and turntable went to my girlfriend. Hopefully her or someone else is still enjoying them. I never did hear quadraphonic sound out of it, as none of my components were quad capable. By the 1980s, quadraphonic was just seen as an old fad.
