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!!!

Great though just a small quirk
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has worked incredibly well for my home theater setup. The only thing that i find particularly annoying is that when using my tv remote to turn on the system it always brings up the receiver menu which has to be closed by the device record directly.

Posted .Hi Ross,
Thanks for this fantastic 5-stars review of the STR-AN1000 receiver. We're happy to hear that it's working incredibly well for your home theater setup.
We also appreciate you bringing up the specific issue with the receiver menu automatically appearing when you use your TV remote to turn on the system. We understand how this can be a frustrating and annoying interruption to your experience. This behavior is often related to the "Control for HDMI" or "BRAVIA Sync" function, which is designed to allow your TV remote to control other connected devices. While this feature is very convenient for many users, we understand that it can also have unintended side effects.
We recommend checking the settings on your STR-AN1000 to adjust the "Control for HDMI" or "HDMI Settings" to prevent this from happening. You may find an option to disable this specific function, or to change how the system responds to the TV's power-on command. May you need guidance while doing it you can contact our dedicated Sony support at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team.

Wish I could rate this higher...PLEASEWAIT
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.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.

Really Good!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because my Harmon Kardon AVR finally bit the dust after a long time. This is a really good unit and I would highly recommend this unit to anyone. It was easy to setup as well.

Excellent audio quality and funcionalities.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup, great audio quality. It is a nice fit to my Jamo speakers. Great with the Xbox Series X with dolby atmos and 4k/120Hz. Could have a phono preamp.
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.

Amazing Processing but not enough power
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded to cinema 60 for more power but i am missing the 360 spatial audio from sony. Might upgrade to az3000es
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Tadaka,
We are elated to hear that you are considering staying within the Sony family for your home theater upgrade! The STR-AZ3000ES is a fantastic choice, especially since it features our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates that immersive, multi-dimensional soundstage you’ve been missing. Transitioning to an ES Series receiver will not only provide the power you're looking for but also restore that signature spatial audio experience.
Thank you for trusting Sony.
Regards,
Dominick
