Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was to replace a Bose Acustamass System receiver, but we found that it took quite a bit of adjustments to get it to do almost as much as the old system. The Geek Squad did a great job in trying to get everything to work

The only reason it did not get 5 stars was it is difficult to set up non-HDMI inputs... the menu can be difficult to navigate and understand the settings. I finally gave up and bought a RCA to HDMI adapter to get my older equipment connected.

I'm not sure what more I could ask for from a receiver, especially at this price point. ATMOS is incredible and this thing handles everything that is thrown at it. Definitely would purchase again.

I have had a Sony system for years so it was nice to see the sale rep recommended this unit. it was very easy to set up and has several options that I haven't even began to use. i will be showing off my system for quite some time.

This Sony receiver was a great choice for my needs and is a well designed receiver encompassing many great features to support today's technical devices to ensure a great overall visual and auditory experience, It was also at a great value.

This Sony receiver is a good fit for a beginner or moderate a/v buyer. It’s very simple and it is a great item for the price. If you want a mid level receiver this is great. The more expensive ones are very big and not what I particularly need in my living room.

The sound is impressive, clear and loud, the auto calibration is very accurate, haven't tried the athmos setup, but any movie or concert, streamed or blu-ray sounds awesome in my 7.1 setup, the navigation menu is very user friendly, I am very happy with my purchase!

I’ve always been a fan of Sony Home Audio equipment - my old Receiver lasted me over 10 years, and might have lasted longer had some of the spring loaded speaker wire input not broken. This time around, I opted for this 1080 model, which features barrel connectors across all inputs, not just the front speakers. Feature wise, I’m just starting to tap into what the receiver can do. My wife is already enjoying the built-in Chromecast/AirPlay integration, which replaces the old Airport Express unit we had connected on the other unit. For the humble family room in our new home, it’s just what we need, while we rebuild the Home Theater.

I have a Sony 930 TV and Elac speakers, and 4K Apple TV. Super easy to set up and use. I used the Bluetooth function to stream music from my iPhone to listen to using my speakers. The CNET reviews were correct about this receiver.

Really impressed. Sound quality is outstanding. Allows you to connect to home network so you can instantly play Spotify from a mobile device. Bluetooth in AND out....this was a nice feature as I can use my Bluetooth headphone on the treadmill as i watch TV.

Bought this receiver with the Sony Core Series Speakers for a budget home theater setup and I'm very impressed. The features for the price along with the ease of use and install make this an easy choice.

Just received this A/V receiver two days ago to replace my 16 year old receiver. Hooked it up yesterday and the sound difference with Atmos sound movies is unbelievable. Very happy with receiver so far.

I'm not an audiophile and my speakers definitely need to be updated, but I appreciate the ease of use of the interface and simplicity of the remote. Bought it open-box without the auto-calibration but it was easy enough to manually calibrate.

Very hi tech compared to my Sony str- D1011 pro logic that I've purchased about 30 years ago that finally went out. It was featured in Stereo Review back when it was too of the line. The only thing do far that I don't like about this new Sony is that it don't have a tape monitor hook up so that I can use my stand alone graphic equalizer. When I'm watching tv the dialog sounds flat. The unit does have a built in eq but you can only adjust the bass and hi 's but you can't do anything with midrange. It's fairly new to me so I haven't really gotten into it. Also I only have front speaker surround hookup with a 10 inch sub because I live in the third floor in an apartment. I don't know if my personal input will help.

Sounds good, pretty easy setup! Wish there were more switching options. Needs better power options that work with other remote. The remote is pretty much junk. No RF is a REAL bummer!!! This is 2019 people!

Does what I need it to do. Replaced 12 1/2 year old receiver that was going out. Best Buy came out re-wired, made sure all my existing speakers worked and checked my speakers to other areas.

Easy to set up. The sound was good for the price. I replaced an old Yamaha analog receiver. I think the Yamaha was a stronger. So I spent the extra money and got another brand receiver

I wanted a 4K receiver with good sound quality and good modes for home theater. This did both. Plus, it is great for stereo music listening. I really look forward to watching movies again as this was a huge improvement over my 6 year old Onkyo.

Good power without breaking the bank. Got it on sale did not pay full price. Good product all the way around. I wish it had the ability to run with an app via my phone. Overall good receiver

Did a fair amount of research before purchasing this model. Had upgraded to a 4K Samsung 82” TV and wanted a receiver with plenty of inputs and outputs to run multiple PC’s, DVD player, FiOS box and for streaming apps. Also have pre-existing speakers and wanted great sound quality. Well, the sound quality was great......astonishingly it was the video and Sony repair that fell down. From the start the picture pixelated after a variable amount of viewing time then lost signal and dropped to black screen. Powering on/off seemed to clear it but after a couple of weeks this problem simply persisted and made viewing impossible. Before contacting Sony I tested all components by directly connecting with the TV and ruled out the (new) 4K HDMI cables and the TV ports. Sony told me to ship to their 3rd party repair center. After a few weeks awaiting their return due to COVID (understandable) the repair center returned the unit with a note saying no fault found. It took less than an hour to find this meant no change in experience so I returned it again for more testing as Sony refused to replace it. This time the repair center replaced something they termed a “video component” so I had hoped that would fix it. Sadly, no, actually an immediate picture quality failure and zero watchability. Sony then said they’d replace it, and they did, with another refurbished model! It was scratched and obviously repackaged. It also failed to perform any better. At this point I gave up and decided to try using it with a non-4K TV in my garage. It worked fine which suggested an issue with the ability to pass 4K signal over time. I’m not techie enough to know why that would happen. Sony refused a refund so that’s the last time I buy a Sony item. To date I’ve just used the TV speakers which aren’t great but I just can’t spend another $500 on a receiver. When I do it’ll be a Denon or Yamaha most likely. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has found this unit unreliable and what they would choose now for a mid-priced 4K unit capable of powering 4-Ohm speakers.
