Great Product - Great Price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has did a great job at fashioning, making, and designing this receiver. It does just what it supposed to do and its features are quite convenient for the use of your purpose. You are able to adjust the bass and treble on the individual speakers and the clarity available, with or without the added bass and treble sounds terrific. Might I add, the price is wonderful, on point, and very affordable for the features and quality you are getting. I would immediately and quickly recommend this product and company to another without hesitation.

Nice product but not what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it. Tried it. It was alright and did a decent job however I ended up sending my old receiver in to be repaired. Once that came back I realized I couldn’t justify the price point of this receiver when I had one that works perfectly fine. I ended up returning this product
