    Sony Av Receiver has a strong clear sound for movies and music. I got 2. One for inside theater and one for outside theater. Even nicer if you add external amps!! The best!!

    Great 4k audio/video

    Replaced an old Pioneer Elite 5.1 receiver with this so we could have 4k for our Bravia TV and PS5. This receiver also can detect/sync other Sony devices plugged into it so that they all turn on/off together and will switch component input automatically. It will also detect my satellite receiver if I turn it on first (still have to use that remote). However it does take several seconds to detect the sat box has powered on before it turns on the receiver, then turns on TV, Sat audio is heard, finally video input switches from main Google TV screen to the Sat TV video. Also, switching from a built-in streaming app to another component like the Sat TV, requires multiple button presses/scrolling to get there. You press Input, select Watch or Listen, scroll to the component you want, then Enter. Going back to streaming is a little easier. You press the Apps button, scroll to the app, then Enter.

    I am still getting setup with this beast, but so far it is definitely a step up from my previous Yamaha receiver. The sound has been IN-CREDIBLE!!!!! After a terrible start by BB, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Can only give 4 Stars because I haven’t full gotten to explore all of the features - a follow up review in a few months to come.

    Huge improvement over the Onkyo I had previously, most notably the soundstage. It tricks me into thinking I have more speakers than I do (currently 5.1) it throws audio in a way I hadn't known possible with the cheap Onkyo. Goes well with my PS5 for surround sound while gaming.

    Needed a new receiver for a recently deceased one and couldnt be happier! IMO, it interfaces perfectly with my Sony TV and PS5 — and my Apple TV to boot. Great interface and even provides an input for a vinyl player. Top notch mid-tier receiver.
