    Very Impressed

    After lots of research I landed on this Sony to replace our 10 year old Yamaha mid-range receiver. It’s a night and day difference. Sound quality is so much better when watching movies. I thought I would need to upgrade my 10 year old speakers too but they came alive with this new Sony receiver. Voice is so much clearer too. The on screen menu is also very nice and modern looking. The automatic calibration was easy. The controller is small but functional enough for me. My old Yamaha controller had way too many buttons on it that I never used so I prefer the simpler controller. Highly recommend the Sony STR-AN1000.

    works as expected. Good quality. We needed to replace our receiver after it was hit by a surge through the cable, and this was as close as we could get to the original

    Keeping my Sony STR-DN1080

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Own the Sony STR-DN1080 and have for a few years. It powers my bedroom HT system and so far has been a far superior unit for me than the Pioneer VSXLX101 and the Marantz SR7015 (at a considerably higher price). Center channel clarity and Atmos surround effects are really clear and pleasantly directional with the Sony. The Pioneer was acceptable but not as forward, and for some reason the Marantz was horrific (and I have a Marantz AV7706 in my main HT and it is magnificent. Researched this unit and seemed to come up a bit short compared to the 1080 everywhere I read. Will be keeping the 1080 for a while more. It has proven to be one of those gems in the rough that may not grace our paths for some time to come.

    too much for too little

    this item is very glitchy and often does not do what it should do. It often loses connection to the audio system and sometimes dos not turn off needing to unplug the unit to power down and reset. very annoying. It is paired with a Sony 65" OLED TV you would think the system would be carefree but it is way too complicated and the remote control buttons are too small to use easily

    Never ever will buy again from Best Buy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Will never buy again from Best Buy. I purchased on Sony STRDH790 7.2CH RECEIVER. As we are busy with work on week days, it took time for me to trace the defect. There is a sound drop for 1-2 mins while watching a movie or you tube video and it happens randomly atleast 5-6 times in an hour period of time. By the time i noticed it and confirmed its a defect and clled back buest buy to return it....Best buy says 'Sorry' and it ends yesterday only as their return policy is only for 14days. and i was on 15th day when i called them. Anyways, nice lesson learnt from best buy and the lesson cost for me is approximately $400.00.
