    Great sound but lacked some punch for bigger speakers. Also this does not have enough pre outs for real amplifiers to be connected. Good for a small area without large speakers.

    This receiver met all my needs and got it at a great sales price. Plan to upgrade speakers soon to KLIPSCH as I am currently using 20 yrd old Boston. AN1000 pushes them quite nicely and the on-screen menu is easy to use and calibrate sounds

    Quality product at a competitive price; however, you must go through the main menu to select TV viewing each time unit it powered on. Other units, i.e., Denon and Yamaha remember the last selection upon powering up. I returned the Sony for this reason.
