I'm still learning to learn how to use all the features of this receiver. I can switch to any of multiple sources with ease.

Feature loaded. Great Sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Denon that started having issues after less than 6 months of use. I decided to upgrade to this Sony and was blown away by how 'fuller' it sounded with the same set of speakers (Jamo). I like the on screen menus. It's easier to navigate than having to look at the one line display on the receiver and keep fumbling with buttons. It is Airplay and Google cast compatible, which is handy. There are presents for movies and music and they seem to work well. It is multi-zone capable, but I don't use that feature. Also, I think you can either use multi zone or Atmos height. If this is important to you, please check the manual before you buy.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver as an upgrade to my home theater. I had the Sony-770 that did not offer Dolby atmos. This receiver does the job well. The Wi-Fi capabilities it overs is an added perk. It is also easy to setup.

Easy set up, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced our older onkyo and the set up was so easy and the sound is amazing. It’s nice that you can add more speakers. The only negative is the zones are a little hard to change with the remote functions

- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Great sound, poor everything else.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Good, sound is incredible, crisp, and accurate. The Bad, if you don't have a degree in musical accoustics you are not going to enjoy setting up this unit. The auto calibration might as well not exist because its horrible. I guess due to the processor is it painfully slow to navigate, sometimes taking more than a minute to populate on the tv screen. I have a 5.2 system, and I struggled for the longest time to get the front 2 tower speakers and the 2 subwoofers to play at the same time. The Ugly, bluetooth struggles to stay connected, the tv has to be on, input has to be coming from the receiver, AND the bluetooth screen has to be showing on the tv or bluetooth won't play. So you can't just walk in and pair to it like a bluetooth speaker. Receiver will also not play bluetooth if anything is playing on the tv unless the hdmi AND optical cable are unplugged. FM tuner on my $20 portable cd player with no antenna is better than on this receiver. And finally the worst of allI mentioned a little in the bad section. If you have your front 2 speakers set as large tower speakers the subwoofers will not play. The receiver sends all the bass to the tower speakers, no matter where you set crossover. The only way to get the receiver to send signal to the subwoofers is to set the large, most likely expensive, tower speakers as small bookshelf speakers in the settings. This will send the highs to the towers and lows to the subwoofers. Basically meaning that your house rattling tower speakers play the birds chirping and not the explosions.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced the 65" bedroom Sony LED (2015 model) with the X90J. Great picture, fabulous remote, but had some issues with running it off of my Pioneer Elite LX101 HT receiver. The Pioneer did not have eArc capability and my research led me to believe that this might play a role in my issues. Replaced the Pioneer with this Sony. Know it is an older model but it has won many awards, the specs seemed terrific and it had eArc. So got it (very hard to find now) and put it in the system. Audio dropouts are gone completely. Works great with the Sony TV remote. Atmos sounds great. Very pleased.

Excellent dynamics and features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd 7.2 Dolby ATMOS compatible receiver. It is fantastic sounding AVR for the price. I am running Klipsch Reference Premier speakers in a 5.1.2 configuration with Atmos up-firing modules in front. Can't go wrong.
