Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unbelievable how easy this receiver is to set up. I have two front speakers, two mid speakers, and two rear speakers set up with banana plugs. I also have two Xbox consoles and a Nintendo Switch hooked up. The ethernet port is a great addition so you can bring up the menu on the TV to set everything up. After I hooked up the receiver, it wanted to do an update to the system which worked flawlessly. if you have any doubts, go on YouTube and watch some videos, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend.

Great so far. Very clear and easy to set up. No issues yet but as soon as I get to play with the system, I’ll provide a better review. Thanks

2nd A\V Receiver from Sony. It has exceeded all of my expectations. Set up takes patience, but it is worth it. It is the Brains for all My New Sony Gear: X90L TV, SA-SW5 SubWoofer, Elevation Atmos Speakers, Core Series 5" 3-Way Speakers, Core Series 4" 2-Way Center-Channel Speaker, SA -RS5 Wireless Rear Speakers, UBP-X800M2 4K Player, and Stereo BT Turntable. They all play very well together. The only complaint will be from the Neighbors!!!

Sound great and to play music fron your phone is seamless. Great purchase, highly recommend.

Sony 7.2 an1000 is amazing. any movie at level 35 or above sounds like a theater. Music is insane. Spend the money get it.

This is a very nice receiver which has a lot of input options and I needed to use those and so I purchased this receiver and it was a good swap for another receiver which I am going to use upstairs. The receiver is pretty easy to use and so is the remote control. The receiver also has mute and a digital volume and can be turned down and even muted such that the receiver can be turned on in order to be used as a passthrough communication device. I use headphones a lot and so that is very important feature. The receiver takes what seems about 30 seconds to turn on when the system is powered on from a switched conditioner power. Thank you for the receiver Sony and Best Buy.

Bought this to pair with my Sony Bravia x90L. The receiver sounds pretty good when watching movies, I am using a 5.0 setup in my living room. I'd give it 4 stars for movie watching. I didn't like the user interface, its ok but not very user friendly. Music listening wasn't that great, i wasn't using any EQ for movies or music. Movies sound good but in stereo mode the treble was very bright, too bright, and the bass was very flat. This can kind of be fixed by adjusting EQ, but its not convenient to have to adjust the EQ every time i want to switch between Stereo and Surround Sound modes. I know some people like the "Sony" sound, but its not for me. Also the "click" when turning on the amp is kind of loud. Also i couldnt figure out how to stop the amp turning on every time i turn on the TV, i dont need the amp for normal TV watching. Anyway long story short, i exchanged this for a Denon x1800h. I am much happier now. Movies sound great. Music is awesome in stereo. It doesn't turn on every time i turn my TV on unless i want it too. And it was virtually the same price. I thought i would get a Sony AVR to match my Bravia, but i should have known better considering i have a higher model Denon already in my home theater that i am very happy with also.

Very good A/V at a good sale price. But it wasn’t clearly better than our current Sony 1080 A/V that works fine. Best Buy return policy worked!

I really like this receiver. It’s a lot better than the one I had before. I got it due to the Bluetooth capabilities and I was able to use it very easily and attach my phone to it. It also sounded much better coming out of my current speakers- you won’t be disappointed.

POWERFUL ,UNIQICE SOUND, NOT TO BIG FOR MY ENTERTAMENT CENTER ,ATOMOS IS AWESOME, SONY MAKE THE BEST SURROUND SOUNDS BY FAR AS WELL AS TELEVISIONS

Excellent sound and sufficient inputs and outputs but switching difficulties and poor remote prevent a higher rating. The receiver appears well built and sets up easily.

This replaced my 5.1 STR-DH590 Sony receiver. The sound quality is much cleaner and fuller than the previous amp with the same speakers. I added the front up firing Atmos height effect speakers too and the surround effect is so much more spatial. The auto calibration process was easy. It although like most I have used set my speakers to large format. This disables the subwoofer. Manually setting them to small and setting the crossover values took care of this error. Would recommend this AVR receiver to anyone!!

This is my third unit, had to return two of them. They are very glitchy. The first two froze with no audio and nothing on the display screen. This one has a cracking (popping) sound coming from my speakers when scrolling through Netflix posters (using my Sony Tv's built-in app). Sometimes when I turn on my tv, the receiver display screen says "Please Wait". And that can last a few minutes before the receiver actually starts playing audio from TV. It's a shame that I'm having these problems because the receiver sounds great. Hopefully a Software Update will make this receiver more stable.

PRO: Very nice AVR. Basic, simple but with good/excellent sound. Has the eARC and Media Box @ 4k/120 and 8k/60 which is what I wanted, while others are 4k/60. Great sale price. CON: A subwoofer is required to run the calibration process. System does not allow/provide optional speaker selection in the set-up process. I have a 5.0 system (no Sub). Considering subwoofer options. Recommendation: Depends on your current speaker set-up

Love this receiver. 360-Sound feature is absolutely amazing. Easy to setup. Best receiver I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon and Harmon-Kardon over past 20 years). Go get it especially when it’s on sale for $599!

Very good receiver. I replace an old Denon. Very easy to use and set up. It looks void and I think at the price I laid it was a great value.

This receiver was the best pick to power my speakers and entertainment system. Great choice

Fantastic receiver. Easy to set up. Powerful. Lots of fun.

This is a great receiver: Plenty of inputs and various output options. 4K pass through and high power per channel are amazing. The price point is great as well.

I am highly pleased with the performance of this Sony receiver. The overall quality and superior sound has enhanced my home theatre experience. I recommend it to everyone.
