Great Receiver Awesome Performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a Sony several years ago and upgraded to a magnolia brand. That new receiver was good but not user friendly. Decided to jump back to this new Sony receiver. I'm completely satisfied and glad that I went back to Sony. Clearer Sound!!!
I would recommend this to a friend Nice tuner-amp. Good Price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A primary plus is its good FM tuner circuit and the existence of an AM tuner! Many tuner-amps only allow FM. Sports fans appreciate AM. Use of a television as the tuner-amp's display (much like a computer monitor) is innovative and simple to use. Lastly the tuner-amp's eARC HDMI circuitry can be used for real 7.2 channel configurations. My ONLY complaint is being unable to listen to radio, enjoy a music CD, use a phonograph turntable or other audio source when watching television, except the television's audio. "Smart" electronics are a bore. Lastly, the price made it a good buy.
I would recommend this to a friendThe 360 Reality Check That Didn't Quite Land
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the STR-AN1000, jmartinez8121. We are pleased to hear that it was a nice upgrade for you and that the setup process was smooth.
We're sorry to hear about the difficulty you had syncing it with your universal remote. We understand that getting all of your components to work together seamlessly is important, and we apologize for any frustration this caused. The STR-AN1000 uses standard remote codes, so it should be compatible with most universal remotes.
If you are still having trouble, we recommend checking the remote's manual for the correct brand code for Sony, or a list of compatible codes. If that doesn't work, we'd be happy to offer more specific troubleshooting tips or guide you to our support team for further assistance.
Thank you again for choosing Sony! We appreciate your patience and your business.

Incredible Perofrmance for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
