Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the amazing sound quality, ease of use, and straightforward setup of the STR-AN1000 receiver. Its support for Dolby Atmos, ample power, and multiple connectivity options are also appreciated. However, some users find the remote to be lacking due to its unlighted design. Overall, the receiver is considered a great value for its price.

    I needed an updated receiver, so I could use my existing speaker system with my new TV. Dolby Atmos sounds amazing. Very happy with purchase.

    Great sounds but does not do zone 3 as speaker connections. It is a left and right channel output. For $900 it should have the speaker connection

    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 :)
