    What I thought was a basic receiver/amplifier turns out to have great functionality. Easy connection via Bluetooth and direct connection to components, like my turntable. Sounds great without perceivable distortion even at decent volume settings

      Hi Mike, You've made an excellent choice! We're so happy to hear you like the overall functionality, easy Bluetooth pairing, direct turntable connection, and great sound quality even at high volume levels. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    This checked all the boxes for me. I hooked up 4 ceiling speakers. I wanted blue tooth. I wanted the radio tuner. I wanted the option to add more components. I wanted decent sound. √√√√√. Only downside is the remote is needed for ease of use. We tend to lose remotes.

    While I wish it had an in/out for an external graphic equalizer, and the antenna connection required me to jury-rig a connection for a powered antenna (poor reception in my area), it is, overall, a sturdy, reliable basic receiver, and the Bluetooth is a bonus.

    A low cost, high quality receiver with just enough power for my Polk speakers. The turntable inputs, which are lacking on many high priced receivers, is a plus. And Bluetooth connect is easy so I can listen to my Apple Music from my laptop or phone.

    I almost rated this 5 stars however I cannot due to the lack of low end this produces via phono output. While very convenient, its struggles on both my Klipsch and JBLs. Great for beginners for sure; but would not recommend for someone looking to "step up".

    This is a reasonable unit . If purchased this to work with my phonograph and it works great. The other features are very basic, no knob to set you’re fm channel no am thin wire for antenna , you change station by a tracking plus long switch, you should be able to set station but mine did not come with English instructions and there is pre set station but all static , But I bought it for my records and that works wonderfully

    Purchased to replace an old Technics stereo amplifier. Way more versatility and updates the technology of my component set. Great reception on the tuner, but it only receives FM. Handles my four speakers well and has adequate power for my listening use. In addition to supporting my tape deck, turn table, and cd player, it has blue tooth capability that allow me to play music apps from my phone on my speakers.

    Using this mostly to stream BT audio (using an internet-connected Echo Show) from the receiver inside to some wired speakers outside in the yard. I can run A and B simulataneously...works great for me! FM reception is good, and the phono input works well. I have had no issues with the Bluetooth. Very satisfied.

    Picked up this receiver to use with an existing in wall speaker system for my pool area. The main function I wanted was a good BlueTooth so I could stream music directly from my phone while hanging outside. The receiver picks up great from about 25-30 ft with no drops in coverage (also inside a cabinet). Setup took less than ten minutes out of the box.

    What a great stereo receiver/amp. It's a SONY, so you know it's top quality. It is powerful. It has multiple inputs. But the main feature, and the reason I bought it -- was the input for a turntable. Like many of us, we still have our old (or new) turntable, and this unit has the correct input for it.And with BestBuy's deals, the price was just too good to pass up. You can't go wrong with this receiver.
