    Great value receiver. This is my first AVR so I can't compare it. But so far it's been great. Had one hiccup, but a restart fixed it.

      Hi JonR,

      That's excellent to hear that the STR-AN1000 is proving to be a great value receiver for your first AVR! We designed it to be a powerful, user-friendly hub for modern home theaters, featuring 7.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, 8K/4K 120Hz HDMI connectivity, and our exclusive 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology to deliver an immersive experience right out of the box. We are glad the quick restart resolved the hiccup, and we hope you continue to enjoy the cinema-like surround sound it delivers!

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    Excellent reciever. I have it set up in my basement to control many video game systems out to two televisions. The only flaw I found is that when the second tv is configured it limits the ability for the first tv to control the receiver volume from hdmi.

    This perfectly replaced my aging STRDN1080. The updated features and functionality brought an increased ease to enjoying content across my devices. I was better able to tune surround sound while not having to manually adjust sound fields as often.

    The receiver seems to work well, but sometimes when we go from the Dish Satellite Receiver to the regular TV, the sound can be very loud or very low and needs to be adjusted.

    Alot of people shy away from sony given their reputation from the late 90s, these are their new line of receivers including the es models, the receiver is really good & the soundstage can really blow you away. Give it a try & if you are not satisfied you have 15 days to return it :)
