Customer Ratings & Reviews

The 7.2 channel makes a big difference, this receiver turned my average entertainment system to an amazing one. Would definitely recommend to take your home theatre setup to the next level

Sony once again! After a foray into the expensive MARANTZ world...tricky to operate and expensive to repair...and trying Denon, I went back to Sony. I had the next model down in price and power in a bedroom and could not complain of ease of use and Atmos performance. Why not go bigger in the great room to replace my Marantz? Big and cheaper, lots of power, easy to set up and did I mention power? Very strong and solid performance so far and at more than half the price. Denon was way too finicky coupled with a Samsung TV, so forget them. Back with Sony to stay. I am not an audiofile but I know what sounds good to me.

I'll be honest and admit this receiver has more features than I know what to do with so far. My surround sounds great. I installed it myself and it looks nice. Only about a month old to me but no issues.

This amp in the STR-DN product line has a great feature set and excellent sound quality. The design of the remote is not that great and it is not comfortable to use, but that is easily solved by just using a different remote.

I purchased the receiver about a week ago. I researched the features and it met all my requirements. The set up was fairly easy and I was able to test everything the unit had to offer. It all worked flawlessly, at least for a few days. Unfortunately then it developed a fatal flaw, namely once in a while it would stop sending video signal through the HDMI cable to my television set. A day later the signal loss would happen regularly and exactly every 20 minutes. Called Sony support and they suggested resetting the receiver. All the setup work including network, bluetooth, calibration and so on would have to be done again. I was told that maybe the HDMI connection issue might not manifest itself again, or maybe there was a glitch in the unit. Obviously I returned the unit. Too bad because I loved the features, the sound quality and the video.

I purchased this receiver to compliment the Sony TV and Sony DVD player I use with in-ceiling speakers and a subwoofer for TV streaming and movies. I did not give this unit 5 stars because I could not get the eARC function to work with the TV, even though all of the products are 6 months old or less, and with the help of the Geek Squad. The Geek Squad recommended the optical cable which works for TV streaming but not with the DVD player. I also purchased the Harmony Elite IR remote to help streamline the process. The unit’s power is outstanding, and delivers a true theater-like experience. The set up was simple, and the features are very good, and I give “ease of use” only 3/5 because of the eARC issue I couldn’t resolve.

An excellent well priced home theater receiver with many functions for video and audio functions. I use the Bluetooth function a lot when coupled with my iPad. Works well with my JBL studio floor speakers.

This Sony is an excellent upgrade to my old Yamaha receiver. I paired with this a set of Sony tower and atmos speakers and the sound is heavenly

receiver is not as powerful as the yamaha 100w x 7 i had, app is awful but Bluetooth connects well. Gets really hot at 3/4 volume more than 5 minutes at a time. Probably would have rather had another yamaha

Plenty of solid power. Settings are a pain to do thought. No phono output. Have to use one of the video outputs. Wire hook ups are a little close together in the back.

I love this receiver's sound and features so much I got one for my bedroom. Along with 2 7.1 sony core speaker sets the Audio Is Lush, bass heavy with good High treble and clear Mids

This is an upgrade from my older Onkyo and was super easy to set up. I’m not sure about the watts per speaker output, but for my man cave in the basement it is perfect.

Watching TV or movies has not been the same with this add! I love this because I feel like I’m in a movie theater or like I’m in the movie.

The Sony amplifier was a great addition to my surround system

Great AVR at a great price. One of the least expensive with two zones. Plenty of inputs, easy on screen setup. Sound is great. The FM tuner is good, however, to use an external antenna, you need to order a JST-PH 2.0 connector, and solder your coax to the pigtails or use a 300 to 75 ohm balun to connect it. Once connected, it has good sensitivity and sound. Why they did not use a standard 75 ohm connector eludes me. The only negative is it only has 3 video HDMI direct access buttons on the remote, and the "Watch" button to bring the rest up is pretty slow to react. 4K HDR works perfectly.

This Sony receiver would be excellent at any price. It is practically an ES level receiver for a Low price. It handles all of the things (4k 4:2:2, HDR, Dolby Atmos and Vision, DSD,FLAC). You won't be disappointed.

Happy with our purchase, we have a sony Tv and blue ray player and now home theater and they all work hand in hand. I am noticing a lot better sound out of all the klipsche speakers but especially the rear surround sound.

Compared to the Yamaha I had originally, Sony products are much easier to navigate. I would recommend starting with Sony products if you are new to the audio space.

So glad I went and got the sony reciver it was really not real hard to set up and what a. Beautiful pic and sound, thanks Best Buy for being so patient with me,

This is great. Was able to hook up all of our components.
