    Easy to connect and calibrate. Outstanding sound quality. Will get a 4k TV soon, but have no doubts this receiver will enhance the display.

    High quality audio and great performance that you would expect from the brand, with automatic settings for most of your needs. Initial setup was more confusing than it needs to be, and the interface on the device itself is limited. It does have a better visual interface when you connect it though a TV, but it's still clunky.

    Upgraded from a Sony 5.1 receiver to get Atmos with my ps5/4k Blu-ray’s as well as 120hz pass through. Works great and is well worth the upgrade if you’re on the fence like I was. The upgrade interface is great as well.

    Sound quality is very clear. Swapping out my old sony reciever took me awhile,im not so good at it. Understanding the manual was not so easy for this old guy. At my age its the last one I will ever buy. Woks well with my 55 inch bravia xbr

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

    As far as sound and video quality goes, I find the unit sufficient for my needs and wants. If you're a stickler for details, you may want to read other reviews. My biggest gripe with this unit is when it gets stuck on the "PELASEWAIT" message. It turns on automatically, I find it stuck saying "PLEASEWAIT," and the only way to move forward is to physically unplug and replug. This, unfortunately, makes it a deal-breaker for me.

      Hi ElizabethM,

      That's fantastic to hear! The Sony STR-AN1000 is indeed a great choice for multi-zone audio. We're thrilled it's delivering exactly what you wanted – the ability to enjoy music on the deck while someone else watches TV in the family room. That's the kind of seamless entertainment experience we aim for with our multi-zone receivers.

      It truly is a perfect buy when it meets your specific needs so well! Thanks for sharing your positive experience and thank you for choosing Sony!
