Great value receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceptional receiver. Easy to setup. Great sound. Only problem the Home Screen sometimes goes blank. Unplugging and plugging the receiver normally gets it working. This has been an issue that Sony knows for sometime but has done nothing about it.

nice features on paper and not on performance.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this receiver, but found following issues after 2 weeks of extensive usage, 1. hi res play back is capped to 16 bit pcm/flac 24 bit media files will not play using the usb media control available in the receiver. 2. tv screen blacks out while stream video 3. unit randomly turns off while in use and have to turn back on again 4, remote feels cheap and controls some times jumps ahead while navigating. All the firmware is updated and speakers were calibrated to room size. this receiver is ok for movies and not for music. looks like sony wanted to pack lot of features in a tight budget, and not concentrated on their premium finish and functions. I am a long time sony fan and I am not quite happy how this receiver is responding to my needs i will invest more and better upgrade to marantz or denon for my needs.

Awesome stereo

I would recommend this to a friend Sony Audio - lots of features but problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been hesitant with Sony audio products because i’ve never had a great experience with them - something always goes wrong. Well, i purchased this based off of a CNET review and other online reviews and at first i was very happy - great features for the price. But.. then the hardware issue started - the HMDI out connector started to flake - no more signal. I tested the HDMI cables directly with my tv and no issues - so the issue was the HDMI out from. my receiver. Granted this is two years in but still.. 2 years!?!?! that seems a bit short in a lifespan for tech. So.. again, got burned by Sony audio product. wont be going back - gonna look at other manufacturers.

Upgraded
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as a major upgrade from an older model. This has Bluetooth receiver to stream audio from a your smartphone or tablet. Also has WiFi (haven’t tried it yet. I mainly upgraded for the 4K pass through. The subwoofer output is not powered. It’s a pre out only. No problems so far.

Id go a different route
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know the Sony has the power and you are able to hook up a lot of speakers and 2 sub offers with it but it was not very easy to use compared to the Pioneer elite. I took it back because of this reason and the remote was dead on arrival

Bad Units
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered this item from Best Buy and they had it to my door within 11 hours (impressive). Once I hooked up, I discovered it would not work. I reset the item and tried multiple troubleshooting procedures. After reading some reviews, and consulting Sony’s website for assistance, I determined that it needed to be returned. Best Buy exchanges it without issue. The new unit worked great for two weeks. The display function quit working. I have returned the second unit to exchange for another brand. Sony needs to get this one figured out. They have a really nice set up process and was great while it worked. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to own the Sony.

Nice receiver that works well with our Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Receiver has all the functions we need for great sound. Paired well with some existing speakers that were pre-wired into the house. Nice sound, great versatility. We had the Geek Squad come in and set it up for us and were really glad for their service. Made things much easier!

NICE FEATURES
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I PURCHASED THIS RECEIVER TO REPLACE A MUCH OLDER MODEL THAT WOULD NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION PROPERLY. I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING IT TO PERFORM THE "ZONE TWO" FUNCTION, BUT WAS REQUIRED TO CONNECT IT TO THE OLD AMP TO GET SOUND TO OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.

Does the job well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second time purchasing this exact model though a generation ahead with stuff like Bluetooth connectivity and atmos. My last one, after 6 years, lost control of the source selector knob so I junked it. I love Sonys entry level pro theater gear. Highly recommend. Read reviews on other websites to. Everyone agrees about this model.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a receiver with chromecast built in. This was a decent purchase but when using chromecast it changes the video output to the chromecast output which is pretty boring. The chromecast 4k I have connected to the receiver will photos and whatnot in the ambient mode which would be much more interesting to watch.
