Pros, 1. Supports about almost every audio format. Dolby Atmos and DTS-X are there being the newest and best ones. 2. Has a clean passthrough for sound and video. 3. 7.2 of course which can be changed to 5.1.2 or 5.2.2 for Dolby Atmos with 2 subwoofers. 4. Very good build quality with solid parts. This weights a little more than my Onkyo 5.1 receiver and is also smaller so I get more air circulation and the receiver runs cooler. 5. It support HDR and Dolby Vision. 6. Contrary to a lot of other reviews say I didn't find it hard to setup and the remote control and receiver menu I thought were fairly good. 7. This is louder than my Onkyo 5.1 receiver at lower volume levels. It definitely more powerful and efficient. 8. This is the biggest, the sound quality for the money is exceptional in my opinion. I've listened to receivers that cost 2 to almost 3 times as much that were on par with this receiver. 9. It has all the connections I personally need plus some. Cons, 1. Extremely hard to get(at least in my area). These receivers sellout fast and I had to order one which took almost week for me to get. I would've waited an extra day if I did a store pickup. 2. Most of the speaker connections are wire clamps and they don't fit the biggest wire sizes. I got some 16 gauge wire and it seems to work good, but I'd be careful about going to a 14 or 12. Because of all this banana plugs are out of the question. 3. It's not a 9.2 or higher, but you get what you pay for. 4. This unit doesn't support 4ohz speakers. I'm running 2 6ohz front channels, 2 6ohz Dolby Atmos enabled, 1 6ohz center channel and 2 8ohz back surround speakers, they fit the specs and seem to run great. 5. This is louder than my Onkyo 5.1 receiver, but it's not going to fill large rooms very well in my opinion nor power bigger speakers. This unit is most ideal for a small to possibly a mid sized room depending on your ceiling height. If you have a mid sized room with a ceiling smaller than 10 feet in my opinion I think you'd be fine running this receiver. 6. It only has one HDMI ARC out and only 4 HDMI inputs. It doesn't have WIFI nor ethernet which doesn't bother me because my TV supplies those things. Connections can be limited to people looking to hook up more one TV and have more than one audio zone. 7. It doesn't accept wireless speakers. All in all I'm very happy with this receiver. For it's price in my opinion it can't be easily beat for it's sound quality and the features it offers. Living in a small place it's perfect for my needs plus some, I love the extra headroom. Now if you're a serious audiophile I'd have to say save up and buy at least a 9.2 system with more feature. Overall this is the best starting point receiver for someone building a home theater system in my opinion.

Excellent upgrade from my Yamaha 6750! Unfortunately my old receiver didn't survive storage for the past 9 years, so now that the kids are old enough we needed a new receiver to truly enjoy the home theater. Not wanting to break the bank we went with the Sony 7.2, and let me tell you it does not disappoint. Don't let Best Buy's inaccurate specs on this item fool you (it does come with a remote btw, lol). This system does everything you can think of and has all the upgrades and all the newest tech and it's about half the size of my old Yamaha. It has plenty of power for any speakers big or small, and the 7.2 is great. What they don't tell you is how easy it is to set up. It comes with a calibration mic and an auto set up function which really tailors to your space. You'll want to use this for sure to get started or the noise will be louder in the wrong speakers. Plus the great part about this is that it's compatible with however many speakers you have and in whatever set up you have...5.1, 6.1, .2 etc...upper speakers, lower speakers, one surround back, two surround back, one sub/ two sub etc. I was thinking I'd have to tweak it with my 6.1 JBL speaker set that I had on hand, but nope it was an option and knew what to do. Honestly you get way more than what's advertised, plenty of power and all the bells and whistles at half the price of the fancier brands. I can't speak for longevity, but as someone who appreciates something being great right out of the box with easy set up this thing is fantastic.

Great receiver that enhances movie and tv watching. The dolby atmos and decoder are an amazing improvement over regular 5.1 surround surround. Sounds move around the room, no longer just a faint echo coming from surround speakers. Easy to set up.
