The HDMI ARC is a plus minimizes cable between the tv and the rcvr

Before you buy: Atmos 5.1.2 sources will play, however there is a massive issue with this receiver. Whenever using Atmos, I (and numerous people on the internet, google it!) have a loud popping noise when pausing, playing or skipping content (Netflix, Disney+, etc) on my Bravia x900h. The receiver is also VERY slow to utilize in its GUI, aside from the audio popping issues. I’m using a zeskit 48gbps 8k hdmi cable with arc to my x900h, for anyone wondering with their setup, and I have tested with my older onkyo recovers (both of which don’t have any of these issues). I’m going to promptly return this buggy and problematic AVR. It’s a disappointment honestly. The rest of the features I could nit pick, but for the price of the AVR you should look elsewhere.

Can not really say enough about Sony, they did their homework

Every option i needed especially the arc port to watch apps

Easy set up. Awesome sound for my surround sound. Radio reception is great.

It took a while to calibrate all the speakers but after that it has been great.

I had wanted this reciever for a while so I bought it so far so good

I enjoy this receiver. No problems so far. Got this for the 3D compatibility

Did research first, this 1080 top the reviews, has lived to reviews- love it

Bought to replace my Yamaha receiver that fried after 8 years. Been 1 year now and had to send back for repair. Had picture but no sound. Best buy has sent back in for us as has a 2 year warranty. Waiting to see how this turns out as has been 1 week already. Not as user friendly as my last receiver.

I’m enjoying my receiver, it’s a good unit for the price I paid.

I recently upgraded my home theater system and this receiver was the key.

I like this receiver. Great output, Small and Beautiful design.

This is an excellent receiver, especially in this price range. I'm not going to list all of the features, as it would be too long and redundant, but I'll go over a few. Whats in the box: not much. The receiver, microphone for auto-calibration, remote (much improved over old sony remotes) and quick start guides. If you want a full manual you have to go online. Features: TONS. Dolby Atmos, and the capability for powered zone 2 (if you use 5.1 in the main room). The system will also automatically adjust for "improper" speaker placement, because lets face it, not many of use has a room that allows for proper speaker placement. The unit will self calibrate, but like most microphone based calibration methods, it is not very accurate, but is much better than doing nothing. My 2 cents: spend 15 minutes and calibrate it manually. My room setup is 5.1.2 with 2 front high speakers, but this system will allow for front highs or ceiling mounted. All of the HDMI CEC is the same on this unit as it is for others. It allows for passthrough, and auto input switching and so fourth. Quality: build is great. Sound is excellent. I noticed an immediate improvement over my 4 year old sony receiver. The remote is much less cluttered than the old one as well. For this price, you can't get much better. Cons: not many. The menu is a bit slow to respond, and sometimes I have to click the remote a couple times to get a response out of it.
