Great Bang for Buck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buy for the price. Had existing speakers from an older Sony Home theater system and this made those speakers sound much better. Auto tuning feature is a huge plus.

Budget product.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It makes a low clanging sound when it's in the mood to do so. That would matter to me if I intended to run the device at a low volume, as an apartment-dweller might wish to do. It syncs well with my tablet for playing Pandora. There is no pre-amp connection as certain turntables would require. It gets better FM reception than my previous receiver. There is no AM tuner. Look at the types of connections on the back and compare to your needs before buying this.

Good Receiver

No Complements. Dead HDMI Out.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HDMI out would sometimes not link with a Sony ARC compatible TV and eventually HDMI out would send audio only-no video. Main purpose of this purchase was to improve movie watching but also be able to watch TV in pass-through mode (I.e. TV speaker only). This seemed like a good concept-entry level receiver with HDMI switching/pass through, and it did sound good In a small room paired with a center, R, and L when it worked. Best Buy wouldn’t exchange due to timing but Geek Squad took it in and is sending to Sony for warranty service. Not a good value with all the wasted time. TL/DR: HDMI Out dead. BB sent back to Sony for repair.

Posted .Hi Loudmusic,
Thanks for the feedback. Double-check if the speaker pattern is correct. Also, the sound will depend on the source that you're playing. Try to test tone to isolate the issue. Check the link on how to.
