    Fairly easy to set up and calibrate. Volume knob is a bit tough, but most will use the remote anyways. I grabbed it on sale, and it's replaced my existing (but fried) STRDH770.

    Great amp. I purchased this amp for the family room. I have always enjoyed Sony amplifiers. This is my second. The first one, purchase 16 years ago, runs my home theater. Pros - Bluetooth connection. To stream music. Many connections for Apple TV, DVD player, Cable box. Con- doesn’t have a turntable/phono preamp. I had to buy one separately. Not a big deal. Probably won’t effect many people. I’m running a 40 year old Technics turntable.
