    I upgraded my old 1080p Sony system, and the difference is incredible—it's like night and day, all while using the same speakers. I highly recommend this system to anyone with an older sound setup who wants to experience Dolby Atmos and 8K visuals. With my 5.1 speaker arrangement, the sound now wholly surrounds me. My living room doesn't have a bad seat; it sounds excellent from every spot.

      Hi MAXWELLB,

      Thanks for the great feedback on the STR-AN1000 receiver. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality and the seamlessly connection with your BRAVIA TV.

      When a Sony receiver is paired with a BRAVIA TV, they're designed to work together with features like Acoustic Center Sync, which allows the TV to act as a center channel speaker.

      Thanks for choosing Sony to enhance your entertainment experience!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony North America. Sony_US

    At first i didn't quite like it but after running settings and dialing it in its nice. Auto cal distances are a bit off adjustment with laser measure helps. Also make sure to try different modes to taste. Definitely not plug n play take your time and dial it in and its nice.

    So far the sound is pretty good using the 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup. The setup was pretty easy using the on screen menu and it's a great value for the price. I paired it with my 4k apple TV and it works great.

    This is an excellent amplifier. For me, it's a welcome improvement over 790. This is not to imply the 790 was not good. It's not on the same level is all. The extra watts per channel and set-up provides a much better listing environment. Especially when connected to the sony 7.2 system using two subs moves are amazing.

    Excellent receiver. I connected my 4 Sonance in-ceiling speakers and the sound quality is amazing! I also connected my 800w Rocker Shaker Subwoofer, and sounds great. I wasnt sure what port to connected to since the receiver doesn't have a "subwoofer" indication, so I connected it to "center", seems to be working great though.

      Hi JuanM,

      Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review of the STR-AN1000 receiver! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the exceptional sound quality with your Sonance in-ceiling speakers and Rocker Shaker Subwoofer.

      To ensure the best performance from your subwoofer, please connect it to the dedicated "SUBWOOFER" output port on the STR-AN1000, rather than the "CENTER" port. For further assistance, feel free to consult the operating instructions for detailed setup guidance. You can find the instructions here:

    I purchased the Sony STR-AN1000 last September, and it has been a fantastic addition to my home theater. I use it with my Sony TV, and I’m really impressed with the overall performance. What stands out the most is the audio cable connection between the receiver and the TV, which noticeably enhances the clarity of movie dialogues, making them louder and easier to understand. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

    I’ve been using Sony receivers for years, my last receiver was DN1080 and that receiver was great. The only down fall was the laggy glitchy Home Screen operating system. Now this AN1000 will knock you in your seat with sound and with the smooth operating system. This is definitely a better upgrade and worth the wait! My speaker setup is klipsch x2 KF-28, x2 R-120sw, RP-450c, x2 R-40SA,x2 R-14S and man this receiver hit hard! I definitely recommend this receiver to anyone upgrading or in the market new user!

    I have this hooked up to my PS5 and my X90K TV. It sounds so good that my friend who helped my juggle TVs and receivers was blown away by the sound check during the initial setup. ATMOS sounds amazing. Gaming is even more enjoyable when you can hear the guys trying to sneak up behind you. The On-screen display is very handy. The Auto-cal with the included microphone works so good that I didn't need to tweak anything like my last receiver.
