Great sound w 360 sound map, a bit buggy though
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaced my decade old Denon X-4000, my denon did it’s job but slowly began having more audio issues, tinny like sounds on dialogue and constant buzzing from the box. I “downgraded” to the sony, much less power, no preamps. That being said my theater space these days is rather small 8.5x15 with light acoustic treatments and easy to drive speakers. I really dont need that much power. The sony is a good deal, the 360 sound mapping is quite amazing. I had my eye on Dirac but the costs for dirac licenses and the fact my space is not ideal to begin with I decided to try out the sony with sound mapping. My soundstage has never sounded better. I disabled bluetooth standy mode because it seems to attribute to a loud thud on start up sound. That may be normal but it just didn’t sound great, turning that off has removed that loud start up. The app connectivity is nice as I have my receiver in an av closet, however it needs repairing often for some reason. The remote everyone seems to hate, it gets the job done but I primarily rely on the apple tv remote so it’s not a big concern. Independent outs for sub would have been nice but not really a huge concern with mini dsp options. For my tastes I definitely enjoy the sound this puts out for movies and music.

Worthy of the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Surround sound is more than about what formats, but also quality of life as well. Supporting DTSX and Atmos along with having Spotify support and USB music connection, audio has many options to go through. WIth HDMI 2.1 support, both my PS5 and Series X can be connected to my TV as well through the receiver. All the bases I can think of are taken care of with all the HMDI inputs and options.

I would recommend this to a friendA nice upgrade over the previous model
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the Sony 1080 since 2017 and was looking to upgrade. This new unit is an improvement across the board. Dialogue is clearer and the separation between channels is much more distinct. The 360 audio features feel a little gimmicky, but are ok for certain things. My turntable using an external amp sounds much improved with this unit. The ability to “lift the dialogue” only works with ceiling mounted atmos height speakers, so I haven’t had a chance to test that.

Posted .Hi KazPro, congratulations on your upgrade! It's truly wonderful to know you're enjoying your new Sony - STR-AN1000 and its clearer dialogue and separation between channels. With support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Speaker Virtualization, DTS:X, and DTS Virtual: X this AV Receiver delivers an object based surround sound experience. Thank you for choosing Sony and enjoy your new setup! Best regards, -Dominick
Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect! Replaced the sdr790 or something It had the 4k the atmos the 7.1 but it would not allow PS5 passthrough. That sucked. So I had to run HDMI and optical. Well doing this caused the receiver to constantly switch inputs cause it kept reading multiple inputs so i constantly had to hit the sound source on remote at least 3-4 times. Well after a year of that i was done. So I did research and found the An1000 to handle what i had. Now the PS5 works and only need to run HDMI cable now. No more constant source picking. And it sounds much better than the sony model below it. Guess thats the difference between $400 and $800. Sometimes going cheap is just fine, sometimes it costs you more in the long run.

4/5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loving my new Sony receiver. Bought open box “no remote..no manual”. Still working on tuning this thing and software. Could be a 5/5 lol. Ive read that some people are having trouble with remote after update. I can attest and give two thumbs up to the “all for one remote” sold at best buy. It does everything receiver remote would do.

Great Deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little nervous about purchasing an open-box Sony Receiver, but for nearly half the price, I decided to give it a try, knowing I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. After setting it up, I was very happy with the sound and video. The picture quality from my computer was much clearer than it was with the receiver I replaced.

All in one
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this receiver up on sale and it goes on sale a lot, so if your looking for a great all around Av receiver that’s priced well this is it! Loved this unit easily controlled and setup is a breeze with Sonys on display setup. 10/10 budget loud movie/gaming/stereo system.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent, when it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Sony home theater receiver. The sonic experience is excellent, but it has software issues. Routinely it starts up not remembering the last used input. You have to tell it what input to use every time you turn it on, which gets old really fast. At less than less than 2 years old, it has failed the same way as the STR-DN 1080 that I had before it. The soft start power amp relay doesn’t activate so there’s no sound output. Poor quality.

Posted .Hi Henkerhaus,
We appreciate your inquiry regarding our Sony receiver. We apologize for the inconvenience. We want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your product.
The behavior observed with the STR-AN1000, where it does not remember the last used input and instead defaults to the TV input upon startup, is considered normal operation. This is because the receiver is designed to prioritize the TV input when it is turned on, to ensure that it is ready for use.
About the issue related with the sound, here are a few steps you can follow to troubleshoot the problem: Disconnect the power cord from the STR-AN1000 and leave it unplugged for about 2 minutes. Then, reconnect the power cord and turn the unit on. Verify that your STR-AN1000 has the latest firmware update. You can check this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/str-an1000/software/00290762
Also, you can navigate to 'Setup' - 'Speaker Settings' - 'Manual Speaker Settings' and perform a 'Test Tone' to check if the speakers are working correctly.
Ensure the speaker output settings are correctly configured:
Access your TV's sound settings and set it to output sound through the STR-AN1000 (Audio system).
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, perform a factory reset. To do this, turn off the receiver, press and hold the power button for more than 10 seconds until you see the reset process start. This will return the settings to their initial status.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend reaching out to our product support team via phone call at 239-245-6366 or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 9:00 pm ET Saturday - Sunday 10:00 am - 8:00 pm ET.
Thank you for choosing Sony.
