Sony 725W 4K Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old Sony receiver lasted 34 years. I can only hope this new one will do the same. Easy set up and running a Boston sub woofer with Boston speakers. Sound is very clear and crisp. Plenty of power for any situation. Highly recommend !

Good for the price, but has an annoying feature!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall not bad its a good receiver for what your paying for. I purchased this primarily due to price as my very old receiver died out after about 20 years (also sony). Ive been using sony receivers for quite some time so decided to keep the brand going. However, there is an issue with ARC that users need to know about. When using ARC everytime you turn on your system you get a pop up menu to select what you are using the receiver for. No way of turning this off and is quite annoying. Sony says this is by design and no way of turning it off other than disabling ARC which then defeats the purpose of using the Smart features like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu etc. I've gotten used to just selecting the options every time i turn on my system but surely would have probably gone with another brand if I would have known this! VERY ANNOYING FEATURE! Regardless of that the receiver is actually very good, but sony needs to find a way of letting us turn that off!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Super easy to use…. But Gets very hot.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish I could give 5 stars, but that is still to be determained. I love how simple this receiver is… super simple…. But the first time I used it for a “music” night it shut off all by itself. When I approached it I felt heat… and when I touched it, it was hot enough to burn. Not sure if this is normal or not… will be calling about the issue. My have been used for 3-5 hours total. If the heat is normal, I do not expect this receiver to last long. But I have not called them yet to find out.

Posted .Hi Nicki,
We're sorry to hear what happen. Check that the receiver is not covered and ventilation holes are not blocked. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an AV receiver. If you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Great receiver to replace old Onkyo that died
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with my sony x900h tv, recognized the receiver instantly and basically set itself up. E-arc works great for xbox, e-arc from receiver to tv e-arc hdmi plug #3, hdmi #4 to xbox and it figures out all the rest itself, sounds great

good sound quality and surround sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality for the price and can power pretty big speakers and get decently loud. Bluetooth is great! However keep in mind it doesnt have features like chromecast or apple air play that are in some of the higher end devices do that allow for even better sound quality than bluetooth.

Nice unit, Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. Easy to set up. Subtracted one star because there is a minor feature I can't get to work (automatic switching to exterior speakers in TV mode). Probably operator error on my part or incompatibility with my TV. Overall very nice unit. Good sound.

Great Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver! Upgraded from my 1990 Kenwood receiver and what a HUGE improvement! Love the Bluetooth feature!

Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price was right. Easy set up once you read directions. Lots of functions to play with. And more than enough connections on back of receiver for you to use. And it more than enough handles the power for the surround sound speakers I purchased.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an awesome upgrade to the previous reciever we had.

Between the interior open space and our outdoor lanai, veranda and Tiki bar, I actually have 12 speakers configured. I was able to do all the hookups myself and we are enjoying the system.

Affordable, easy setup, great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Affordable, and smaller than the model it replaced (HD700). Setup was a breeze and took just minutes. Sounds great, easy bluetooth pairing and playback. OSD works great. I've no need for 7.1 sound at the moment, so it was a perfect fit for me.

Good receiver but still took it back
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing wrong with this one, except a few days later another Sony went on sale that was a net $20 more but a 7.2 system with more power. This unit is great if you are just going to have front surround, where it shines. I did not fully appreciate the 5.1 from it, and I want both to be very good.

Love it and recommend it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is definitely an upgrade from my previous stereo. I feel this offers everything needed at this price point. Navigating the setup menu and features is really simple with just the remote and receiver display. Though i haven't connected this to anything other than music. Running it with a Sony subwoofer and some older Polk Audio tsi200 bookshelf speakers. As long as the quality lasts, i have zero interest in upgrading this receiver and it definitely meets and exceeds my needs
