Got this just to use the BS optical audio out on my tv it sucks they got rid of all the external audio jacks but im really happy with this unit

Sony receivers keep getting better and better. Not happy the previous model didnt support HDR and I had to upgrade so soon. But this player should be future proof for a while.

My last sony amp’s HDMI card failed. So to keep TV viewing going, i had to get a new one. 2 year warranty fixed my old one and I now have a spare. If it happens again....my last Sony Amp.

Very good product when using 4 ohms speakers that is all i am running martin logan. Motion 4i and 6i also 2i speakers

It was confusing to install because the setup menu appears on the TV screen. The manual didn’t say that. I took a while to get everything to work.

Did not have to use it. Had Bose Lifestyle 600, Bose sub doesn't work with any receiver beside its own, since its wireless. Easy return.

This is a wonderful receiver. The different options are great. The connections with WiFi are great for current tech. The receiver can be updated thru WiFi.

I love this receiver. The wifi and bluetooth technically is more than I expected. It works great with my phone and my new smart tv.

Very happy with the sound quality of the receiver. Dolby Atmos, timely software updates, THX Certification and 6 HDMI 2.2 inputs. I've been very impressed with the quality

I really enjoy this product. But like the title says, its expensive. I probably could have settle for a cheaper unit and still been just as satisfied but I don't regret buying it.

We wanted this fast and found it in stock in theHeath oh store. Geek squad did a great job I installation. Geek squad is great,

I was quite impressed by the accuracy and quality of the spacial frequencies produced by this amp when used in direct mode. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

Easy to install. We connected speakers, blu ray player, tv, phone, head phones, sound bar and several other things. Works great

This is a great looking and functioning AVR. My only regret is not splurging for the 9.1 channel system. I'll look into that upgrade in a few years. Otherwise this is a great unit.

Very nice home theater / receiver. Easy to set-up. Digital processing images and sound are superb. Highly recommended.

This receiver had everything we were looking for. The remote control is a little complicated but if I took the time to read the manual, I'd probably be fine.

LOVE this receiver. It has tons of listening options and the tech is rock solid. For this price, there's no comparison

Being entry level Atmos receiver, it performs really well. It produces clear sounds, was easy to calibrate and setup, easy to use, and the Phantom Surround feature surprisingly works. It’s not perfect, yet there’s very few negatives. It does get warmer than other receivers I’ve owned and the build quality is a bit flimsy. The menu, while easy to use, is a bit clunky. Atmos setup is limited to 5.1.2. Good: -Clear sounds -Atmos support -Dual zone -6 HDMI in and 2 out -Dual wifi -Small size (when compared to their previous models) -Phantom speaker makes it seem you have rear speakers or equally placed -Google home support -HDR passthrough -Bluetooth can be set to transmit for headphones or receive for mobile devices Bad: -Can get a bit hot -Top panel is flimsy and flexes -Manual is lacking -Can only do Atmos 5.1.2 Sony DN10xx series are good receivers. The DN1080 added some minor improvements, but the biggest one being the Atmos support and new “Phantom Surround” feature which simulates back speakers essentially turning your 5.1.2 setup to a 7.1.2 full surround. It has HDR passthrough and supposedly works with Google Home, but I don’t have a 4k tv and have an Amazon Echo so I was not able to test those features. The network features all work as intended with the streaming service is limited to just Spotify and Chromecast. Dual zone is nice to have especially if you want to pass video and audio to another tv in the house. Though, I’d rather not have the dual zone if it meant that they added support for 5.1.4 instead. Atmos is ideally meant for 4 top speakers. Setting up was straightforward. Sony have kept their simple UI and streamlined remote, but the UI is somewhat clunky and laggy at times. The auto calibration was a good place to start and can get the job done if you don’t want to fine tune anything manually. The calibration is done with a new stereo mic which supposedly produce better results. It actually gave me an error when I had the R and L on the mic reversed so at least it’s accurate enough to know that much. The calibration did a good job at judging distance and levels but it kept assigning my bookshelf speakers as large and the level of the subwoofer was way too high. I went back in and adjusted some setting manually and set it up as Atmos 5.1.2 with top middle speakers and assigned the phantom surrounds as rear speakers. Audio quality is great. I’m limited to only 2 Atmos movies, but what I heard was impressive. The sound was clear and bounced front to back and left to right. The phantom surround worked well enough. It’s not going to be the same as having actual speakers, but I definitely heard sounds as if they were behind me. With non Atmos media, setting the sound field to Dolby Digital or DTS Neutral can enhance the sound and fill the room more but it’s somewhat minor. There’s various calibration settings and sound fields options to mess with as well as speakers quality and placement so there’s a lot of factors at work, but based on what I have, I’m happy with the sound quality. Some issues I have are from the build quality and how hot this gets. While its size is the same as my old Sony STR-DH750, a small non network receiver, its build quality seemed to have worsen. The top panel felt flimsy and flexed, and mine came with a dent. It also heats up quite a bit. Enough that I probably wouldn’t keep it in a closed cabinet without ventilation. The manual is also lacking explanations of settings. It only covered basic installation and the front display. For in depth explanations you have to use their online guide. I think this is a very good receiver given the price point. Atmos media will hopefully be more available soon and this is a nice entry point. I like the sounds it can produce and the extra features are there for those that want it. It’d be nice if I could have set up a 5.1.4 Atmos experience but some Atmos is still better than none.

I am very happy with this purchase. User friendly set up. Everyone in my family loves the quality of this receiver. Great item.

I love it. It was everything I hoped it would be. I'm using my old Sony speakers and it brought them to life. Good choice.
