I need an amp for the TV sound, to replace the second-hand receiver I

amplifier I'm after.


Hifi is dead, look for second hand stuff.


Probably a good move.


However, all supermarkets around sells 5 channel remote controlled
receivers with surround decoders and RDS tuner for the equivalent of
200-300 US dollars. Is there anything basically wrong with these?


Probably the sound. Buttons cost, and they have plenty, they have to
save somewhere.


What do you mean by "sound" here? Could you guess a little more
technically?
