Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's fine for what it is, you get a good 7.2 or 5.1.2 system and sounds good. But it does lack some feature in other premium AV receiver, like a dialog lift.

Good features, fair #I/O connections - .9% distort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony packed a lot of good features in this 7.2 channel surround sound receiver. Strangely HD radio was not included. The only negative is 0.9% Total Harmonic Distortion. Under 1% THD is acceptable, whereas quality receivers usually have less than 0.1% THD. There's a fair number of I/O connections, with 6 audio inputs (4 RCA, 1 CoAxial, 1 Optical), 2 audio outputs (2 subwoofers), and for video 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. Overall a good consumer grade receiver choice, with a 2 year warranty from Sony.

Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on a deal and decided to pair them with new Klipsch speakers. This has been a great set up, especially when paired with the Phillips Hue lights that are reactive to the TV image.
