Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Fantastic system for the price. We originally had an Atmis soundbar, but we were not impressed with the surround, even with wireless surround speakers. This was only a little more (we had our front speakers from the old setup), with much better sound spatialization. Even better, we can add additional side or top surrounds and it doesn't block the bottom of the TV like the soundbar did. One con, the connection to the wireless surrounds sometimes gets a little choppy (seems like other Bluetooth devices interfere), but this is easily resolved with recalibration in the system, and the system recognizes when the connection is bad and will suggest recalibration.

This Sony receiver is awesome and is better than the Denon that it replaced. Great for the price point.

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

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.

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!!!

Great Quality, Reliability & Performance wise. Enough for Home theater experience at a reasonable price.

Just what i was looking for and a great price and have enough power

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.

So far this has been an excellent receiver. The set up was easy and sound is beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more.

Good product. Great sound. Very compatible with my sony bravia tv.

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.

We set this receiver up in our theater room and it conmected easily, was easy to wire, and is connected to 7 soeakers and 1 subwoofer.

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

Works great. Plenty of ports for all my devices, and no issues with the audio or visual quality. Setup was a breeze.

Great receiver easy set up and worth the extra money.

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.

Great product! Highly recommend! I chatted with Best Buy online and told them what I needed. I ordered it and picked it up. It was perfect! So easy to use!

really nice AVR! found this great value with excellent open box which have 200 off than new. great value!
