    Sony just doesn’t know how to make receivers!! I am sorry to say that but it’s the truth. You get power but no refinement!!! I’ve tested sooooooo many receivers and can’t see how Sony pass this product! Anyways if you want to waste your time try it out :)

    This SONY stereo is a Christmas gift from my wife. It will replace my current 10-year-old stereo. Looking forward to setting it up. We were able to get it from Best Buy at a good sale price.

    Excellent receiver. Met all my needs for building a home theatre as well as being future proof with the 8k. I recommend springing for the extra bit of money to get the additional functionality that will last you longer.

    You can’t go wrong with a sony receiver. This is my second one only because my other one was accidentally damaged by a family member. The connections and sound is excellent.

    If you are into special sound effects, it gives you that. For me, when listening to music via DVDS or vynil, it's pure direct setting does a good job.

    Nice sounding receiver but the IR does not respond to Harmon remote and unit takes too long to come on from standby, sits in a “please wait” mode

    Great receiver, as good as any Denon I've owned and I've owned 3 of those. This is much more user friendly and has all the connections I needed.
