    I purchased this receiver to build a simple, clean-sounding stereo system to listen to vinyl records. I'm very happy with the results and the quality of the product.

      Hi KennethH, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're very happy to hear it works perfectly with your speakers and turntable. Good to know also that you like the amazing sound quality and you're having an enjoyable listening experience with your new 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! Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Bought this for the pre-amp function for my turntable and Polk floor standing and bookshelf speakers and it has the features I need for a great price. My vinyl albums sound great with this pushing out a decent amount of sound

    I purchased the receiver to use with my turntable since i didn't buy powered speakers. Works well with the turntable and speakers. My setup is pretty much an entry level system, didn't want to break the bank to listen to vinyl again, the vinyl will be expensive enough.

    Excellent power and features. I needed an old school receiver with radio and phono inputs yet adding Bluetooth and this is one of few that has all of that. The radio receiver is not super strong though and does not pick up well but I may expand the antenna to see if that helps. Plenty of power.

    The demand for 2 channel receivers is probably quite low these days with numerous home theater options offering 7 or more channels . I personally have a quite nice home theater with a Samsung 4K curved TV, 5 top of the line Definitive Technology speakers , and a high end Denon Receiver and sub. I bought this receiver for my mom who just wants to listen to music , and this unit Really does the job . Extremely easy set up and use, Mom didn’t know it was possible to wirelessly stream music from her iPhone , and this basic Sony receiver fills the entire first floor with crystal clear music . This has to be the best bang for the buck piece of electronic equipment I’ve ever purchased . For about $100 I’m a hero in moms eyes !! If you want to listen to music without the need to have a home theater set up, you could seriously consider this product !!

    Works great for what we needed it for. My wife needed some tunes while working out. Old receiver (20 years old) finally died. Plays music through her I-phone via the built in Bluetooth connection. works perfectly. Even turns it all on and adjust the volume by her phone.

    I'm not a huge audiophile, but I wanted some speakers on my back patio for listening to music or the occasional outdoor movie night. I wasn't looking for anything fancy and didn't want to break the bank, but I did want 2 different zones. This receiver does its job -- nothing more and nothing less. I have a chromecast audio hooked up to it currently and that combination works really well. The remote is pretty much useless -- you have to be pretty much right in front of the unit and in a straight line to it -- I tried it through an open window and was only maybe 20' away, but at an angle and it didn't work. Otherwise, for my needs, its good enough. I'm adding garage speakers for my 2nd zone so that will be nice too.

    Got this as a receiver for our bedroom because we have 2 speakers in there and then use the 2nd group of speakers (A & B speaker options) to play music in the bathroom. It’s not a top end system with bells and whistles, but it has a nice sound quality playing at lower volumes (that’s what we use in those two rooms).
