    We only needed a two-channel receiver to replace one in our component system. Was able to find exactly what we needed at Best Buy.

      Hi KnoebelHousehold, That's great! We're glad to hear that! Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input, or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for! Thanks for choosing Sony. Jay Sony_US

    Everything works perfect. My only complaint is the antenna doesn’t catch many radio stations and I couldn’t find a better one online with the special sony connection on this receiver. So we just Bluetooth everything!!!!

      Hi Ldavis143, Awesome! We're very pleased to hear everything works perfectly. To ensure you're getting an optimal signal reception when listening to the radio, please follow the steps below:

      • Extend and adjust the position of the FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception conditions are good.
      • Place the FM wire antenna (aerial) near a window.
      • Position the FM wire antenna (aerial) as horizontally as possible.

      Hope this helps!

      Regards,
      Sam Sony_US

    My buddy and I both bought one, he runs more speakers and higher volume than i do. Yet mine had the bluetooth fail after 2 weeks and now at 11 months old it stopped playing audio completely and goes into protection mode constantly. My buddy's has zero issues.

      Hi BlakeT,

      Thank you for the review and we're sorry to hear what happened with your AV receiver. It depends in the speaker setup that you're using. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. When matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver to avoid a risk of hardware damage. To resolve your protect mode issue, please follow the troubleshooting steps in this article.

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00025095

      If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required. For further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    My guess is nobody at the store this receiver was returned to looked in the box. The styrofoam that protects the receiver during transit was one side of the receiver broken in half just stuffed in the box along with the plastic bag they wrap the receiver with at the factory. The manual was in the box, but the antenna wasn’t. So i can’t use the radio which is why i bought it. The receiver has no power. Volume setting turned up to 40 and still needs to go higher. There is a footprint of a toddler on top of the receiver. He wasn’t happy with this receiver either?!
