Great Sound, but glitchy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Had to return due to equipment mismatch.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this. My speakers are 4 OHM and SONY made it sound like it was a real problem as it doesn't support 4 OHM speakers. Easy to set up and sounded great.

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

LIMITED but nice AVR
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Best receiver I’ve ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Speakers not A/V are what you ears hear!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Not sure to be honest.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only a month in, still learning the ropes of it. Good receiver, annoying that all the web app functionality for streaming services run through your phone or whatever other device you are using. Sound quality is good, remote control and app are terrible.

Pairs well with Bravia TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a Denon receiver with this Sony because I needed 2 HDMI outputs. I should have gotten this from the start because I'm using a Bravia TV and the way it's integrated is seamless. The sound quality is better too. I did have some restarting issues but it turns out the first one I got was defective. Exchanging it resolved all the issues I had (freezing, restarting).
