      Hi Best Buy Customer,

      We appreciate the 5-star rating and we're happy to hear that you like the quality of the Sony AV receiver. 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    My husban bought a stereo system 30 years ago when he was in the Army. I finally convinced him to upgrade the components. For the money this receive has been great for us. He has a 6 disc changer, TV, and 30 year old speakers hooked up to it. Everything is working and sounding fantastic. He had it set up in under 10 minutes.

    Does exactly the job I bought it for, and it does it well. I'm using it a a Bluetooth preamp for my Phase Linear 500 amp driving my legacy ESS AMT 2 Rock Monitors in my garage. (My wife won't allow them in the house). Now, I have crystal clear sound from punchy bass to feather light highs at any volume I like...

    There was nothing wrong with the tiner/ receiver. What I had at home like the speakers and turntables didnt do the Sony justice. I needed better speakers to getvfull capacity of the sound. I will look for the next level of Sony Speakers and Tuner/ receivers.

    Exactly what I was looking for, at a price I can live with. Needed a shop stereo to play music over two small speakers in the clean room, and two large speakers in the outside shop. This has the watts to push the speakers, separate channels for inside and outside, and bluetooth to boot. Only way to make it better is to make it free.

    Wonderful receiver for streaming music via Bluetooth or listing to FM radio stations. This was purchased for the sun room/back yard area where complicated surround sound settings aren’t needed. Receiver has A/B speaker control allowing you to listen to music in two different areas or both at the same time.
