The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Intermatic RC613R appears in the AV receiver category at a $252 price point, but its available specifications are notably sparse. Channel configuration, power output, HDMI port count, and connectivity type are all undisclosed in the product data, which makes a direct performance comparison to competing units difficult.
Intermatic is better known for timers and electrical control products than home audio, which raises the question of what specific market segment this unit targets. With only 30 reviews and a 4.1-star average, there is not enough buyer feedback to draw confident conclusions about long-term reliability or common use cases.
If you have a specific installation requirement that points to this unit, checking the manufacturer's documentation directly is the right move before purchasing. For general home theater receiver shopping at this price range, there are receivers with full disclosed specifications and larger review bases that give you a clearer picture of what you are getting.
Performance notes
No specifications are available for this unit, including channel configuration, power output, HDMI ports, connectivity type, dimensions, or weight. Performance cannot be assessed from available product data.
What buyers say
With only 30 reviews at a 4.1-star average, the sample size is too small to draw reliable conclusions. The rating is modestly positive among those who bought it, but the low volume means individual outlier experiences carry disproportionate weight. Prospective buyers should seek out additional sources before relying on this rating.

Frequently asked questions
What are the power and channel specs for the Intermatic RC613R?
Power output and channel count are not disclosed in the available product information. Before purchasing, contact Intermatic directly or request the product manual to verify these specifications match your speaker and room requirements.
Is Intermatic a home audio company?
Intermatic is primarily known for electrical timers and home automation control products, not home audio receivers. This does not necessarily mean the product is poor quality, but it does mean the brand has less established track record in the AV receiver category compared to companies like Yamaha, Onkyo, or Denon.
