Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the excellent sound quality, ease of use, and Dolby Atmos capabilities of the 1155W 7.2-Ch. A/V Home Theater Receiver. Many also appreciate the receiver's power and straightforward setup process. While some users noted the unit can get warm during operation and that the menu system could be improved, the positive feedback on sound and ease of use outweighs these concerns for most buyers. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    Great Receiver to match TV

    This Sony receiver kicks butt. The 7.2 sound is clear and loud, providing crystal clear highs and deep bass even at low volumes. Works in total harmony with my Sony 4K 950 TV and 4K Bluray player and the Dolby Atmos is "music to my ears". I have had Samsung/Yamaha for years and am thrilled with my new gadgets. The sales prices were lowest anywhere, too.

    After a painful review of most of the product in market, I purchased this one and it delivers performance as advertised and reviewed. It can get you the best sound experience and power. Setup is easy and worked in few minutes. 7.2 is not really 2 subwoofer, also the application UI can be bit buggy and sluggish , otherwise the product is great quality build and it works.

    It performs well, but I expected easier use and more features for the price. I have Bose Soundtouch and it connects easily to music services and can be controlled by app on my phone. Sony has limited music services. None that I use. You can listen to music using bluetooth from your phone with Sony, but for the price I expected same or better than the Bose.

    This is my first receiver so don’t really know what to expect - the on screen menu can be glitchy - sometimes it wants to work and sometimes doesn’t. Biggest complaint is the radio antenna - don’t get a great signal and Sony uses a proprietary connection making it more difficult to extend the wire or connect to a coaxial cable antenna. Overall I think it is a good unit.

      Hi MichaelM,

      Awesome! We are glad you're happy with your purchase. You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Once you take advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, combined with 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2 support, there is no going back! Be sure to take advantage of the flexibility of 6- in/2-out HDMI and multi-room listening, plus voice control powered by Google Home. Don’t forget our Phantom rear surround channels can transform your five-channel system into a seven-channel system too!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Decided to stick with Sony to replace our old receiver. This unit does everything and more than I expected. It will be a perfect fit for all of our A/V components and will perform to meet our expectations. So happy to have found this at the store. I definitely recommend thus Sony Home Theater receiver model.

    Really nice sound quality, easy to set-up, and plenty of HDMI hook-ups for all your toys. Cheap remote and when you use the HDMI pass through you have it automatically turns on when you don't want it to.
