Love my SONY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the full 7. Surround. It completes my home theater system. 4K is stunning! But it even makes all my blue rays sound better than they ever did with the dynamic range compression feature. As an added bonus it has 3D pass thru, so I can play my 3D movies. Oh, I forgot... Blue tooth Tech. Is super cool - P

Couldn't be happier
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an upgrade to a receiver from Best Buy I purchased 10 years ago, the NR-S5101. That receiver served me well, and still works great. This new one takes it to the next level. It matches my surround system, and plays so clean. Better dynamics, and even better sound. If you're in the need for an upgrade, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST OPTION. Also, make sure to download the SongPal app. It is the companion app to this receiver.

Took me to 4k video switching, and Atmos!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did the research, and this receiver was one of top rated units at CNET. The set-up was easy, once I figured out how to do it right. The sound is powerful, and clear, with ability to accommodate both Zone B, and Atmos up-firing speakers. I got this on sale during the run-up to Christmas, so I saved a little money on it, but I would have purchased at normal price. It is a fantastic receiver!

Nice 4K add on
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit replaced an older ES receiver that worked with my 1080p setup. This was purchased to make the leap to a new Sony 4k setup. It is a bit slow to respond to commands if you use any remote other than the one supplied with the unit. The video sync feature is not as spot on as the older ES, however the features I like make this a nice upgrade even over an ES unit that cost four times as much ten years ago. It sounds terrific and plays well with all my modern gear that is 4K.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, I did NOT expect this from a "mid-level" home theater receiver! I've had this Sony STR DN1080 receiver in my system for about a month now and every time I turn it on I'm flabbergasted by the quantity and quality of sound I'm getting from it! I've always had Pioneer Elite series receivers in the past, this receiver supplanted my Pioneer SC81, which is no slouch with its highly touted class D amplifier. First thing I noticed when I powered up the Sony for the first time was the sheer impact and power of amplification. I was surprised to find I don't have to turn up the volume half as much as I did with my Pioneer to get clear and accurate dialogue out of my front channel speaker. Last night I was watching "Django Unchained" and found myself mesmerized by the quality of the sound track coming through my speakers, much better than I ever remember through the Pioneer Elite! I found the initial set up very easy and intuitive as well. I have my set-top cable box running into the Sony receiver then into my Sony XBR65 930E, all via HDMI cable. My Sony tv remote easily linked to the Sony receiver and allows me to control everything through the tv remote. Although I haven't been able to get it to control my set-top box yet, even with the tv's IR blaster plugged in. Perhaps somebody out there can assist me with this? I must be missing a step in the set up? I used to think you had to spend at least a grand or two to get that solid "movie theater" experience in my home. This Sony receiver has me questioning all that, making me wonder if I've been duped all these years by all the marketing hype put out by these high-end manufacturers. All in all, I couldn't be more thrilled with my "thrifty" purchase and would recommend this receiver to anyone out there looking for a solid buy!

A very capable A/V 7.2 Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am still learning capabilities for my replacement Sony receiver. That said, this follow-on Sony 1155 Watt receiver is improving features like serving up automatic surround sound. This used to be a bit more challenging, but now you attaché a special cable positioned at the ear level where you sit. It results in adjustments to individual speaker volumes to account for speaker locations.

Great Home Theater Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a gift for my daughter. She’d bought an 85” Bravia 4K HDR tv and received aSony 4K HDR blueray player as a gift. I set her system up and put an HDR movie and the picture quality was not as expected. I deduced the cause was her receiver. So I gifted her this one. Put the same movie and wow what a difference. Great sound, image and integration of the whole system with all the Sony components.

Great replacement for a Pioneer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Pioneer which didn't support 4K switching, so I decided to move my receiver to Sony (many of my other products are as well) and I am really happy with the inter component communication turning devices on and off, switching to the right input and the like. The microphone means that I can get the speakers balanced for my environment which means the sound is better than anything I had before. Overall, I am thrilled with the purchase and I would buy it again.

This is my first AVR unit. Difficult to setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best Buy salesman was very helpful and selecting the entire system with speakers. Setting up the unit to connect to my LG television was very difficult. This is my first ABR unit and I was not familiar with some of the terminology and diagrams used in the instructions.I’ve since learned that there is an online Sony help site. Hopefully more information on that site will help me completely set it up. I purchased the Atmos speakers. The sound is awesome!
