Customer Ratings & Reviews

After much contemplation between the Denon X3800H and the Sony 3000ES, I stumbled upon the Sony AN1000 receiver at Best Buy, a tempting open-box deal. Despite knowing it might not meet all my needs, I hoped for a worthwhile upgrade. Unfortunately, it fell short. The sound, while passable, lacked the richness I expected, paling in comparison to my older Denon. But that wasn't the deal-breaker. Attempting to explore Sony's new 360 Reality Audio, I played "Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse," initially impressed. However, upon returning to the Apple TV menu, chaos ensued. The audio lagged and emitted an unsettling airy noise reminiscent of blowing into a fist. Even worse, testing it on streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube was a flat-out disaster. The 360 Reality Audio sounded abysmal, making me appreciate the sound of silence. Switching back to DTS: X, relief washed over me as the audio returned to its former glory. Yet, the sluggish performance, delayed HDMI inputs, and the caveat of avoiding 360 Reality Audio left me unimpressed. In comparison, I believe Denon would offer a superior experience. With a heavy heart, I reluctantly grant the AN1000 three stars, acknowledging its mediocrity—only salvageable at a bargain price, provided you steer clear of 360 Reality Audio.

i gpt this fpr my definitive technology dm 70 speakers and the quality and features are amazong

I bought this reciever open box. Its basically brand new. Its an awesome product and im super happy with it. Best Buys open box items are the best deal out of any other box store for pricing.

Awesome sound. Very impressed. Glad I made purchase.

Perfectly compatible with our Sony TV and Bose 5.2 speaker system. I thought the atomic explosion in Oppenheimer occurred in our house! This receiver was a replacement of an aging Sony receiver.

USING A 7.1 SPEAKER SETUP, THE SOUND IS AMAZING FROM ALL THE SOURCES THAT ARE INPUT.

I started with a 2.1 added a center now im in a 5.1 and i know i will finish with a 7.1 this receiver has scale up magically. Games movies and music is so clean so full!

When wanting the best quality sound for your favorite genre of music to feeling the movies waves through you this is the item for you. I am extremely impressed with the sound quality.

The price is off the charts expensive, but should pay for itself in long run. I specifically purchased this to run my PS5 through it and, boy, does it come through with flying colors.

It’s a great receiver, runs all my 5.2 speakers with clarity…. With the Sony app you can stream Amazon music with easy…. But I maybe having good luck since all my components is Sony(85in tv,dvd player, PlayStation,an record player

This receiver is clearer and has more features to utilize the 5.1 speaker system at home. I really like the surround 360 for listening to regular stereo content.

This replaced my ~7 year old Onkyo. For the price point, this is an incredible home receiver for music and movies. Crisp sound, great bass with my Hsu subwoofer. I also bought the Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers. Easy setup.

Nice Receiver. Sounds great, good features and has plenty of power to drive my 5.1 speaker set up.

The first open box occasionally had minor issues with recognizing the input sources. So far, so good with the second open box.

Nice product. Easy to use. Hooked up seamlessly to my existing components.

Replaced an Onkyo that died. Didn't have a clean way to add the Atmos speakers. Purchased the Sony SA-RS5 to go with it. The setup was easy and we are very happy with the sound.

This is a great receiver, works really good with my speaker setup

Goodbye good inputs that the new edition one so has more multifunction

Searched for the perfect system and found it!!!! I wanted a receiver that would play music on the deck, while someone else could watch TV in the family room. Perfect buy!

Extremely recommended, works perfectly with my home theater system
