Great Starter or Upgrade Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great upgrade from my previous Sony Receiver. The sound that comes out of this unit is powerful and definitely more immersive. The fact that you can run all your 4K connections through this makes it the perfect media center hub.

Good receiver for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver for my mini theater room. I didn't want to go too expensive so I bought this one at a good price. The sound quality is very good. I like that it is capable of producing 7.1 sound. Also, I know that Sony is a good brand because I still have my old receiver that I purchased in 1999 and it still works like a champ. I highly recommend this receiver.

Works great with my old Samsung surround system
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it because it was the cheapest 7.2 channel receiver. Didn’t expect it to be good but it actually wasn’t so bad. Was able to connect my sub but now my sub can’t handle the receiver output so had to buy new receiver but kept my other surround and it sounds great. Just like at the theatre. I loved the fact it controlled all my games, dvd, tv, etc... with just the receiver remote. Eliminating remote Clutters.

New Sony AVR.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a 15 year old Yamaha AVReciever. The sound of this Sony is fantastic. It has three zones and set up was a little complicated but the Geek aSquad came through. Glad I’m a total tech member.

Love My Sony Home Theater Receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking to replace a Sony HTIB that bit the dust on me after about 15 years. Never owned a receiver before so I was a bit apprehensive. But this thing was a breeze to set up. I'm only running a 5.1 setup at the moment, but I can't wait to add my two height channels to get the full Dolby Atmos experience. I'd definitely recommend this receiver for anyone in the market for one.
