Posted .Hi Jay27, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! 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
Weak Receiver that Lacks a Powerful Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Sony receiver based on the reviews and it was on sale. Sony claims 100w per channel but I could immediately tell that was not true. I have old school Cerwin Vega speakers and this receiver had trouble powering them. At low volumes, the bass would drop out completely. At high volumes, there just wasn't enough headroom or power to sufficiently drive my Cerwin Vega's. Disappointed, I returned this receiver and purchased the Yamaha 200w 2ch Stereo Reciever (model #R-S202BL) that sounds much better and drives my Cerwin Vegas easily. This Sony stereo receiver is weak, IMO, and does not deliver a powerful sound.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm undecided on this. I bought it for use by my turntable, but something seems off. Either it's this or my speakers, but I've ruled out the turntable by plugging it into my bose.

Refurbished - Would not turn on
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the highest rated receiver, so I thought I'd get a little bit of a bargain by getting it refurbished. Instead it came with a dent in the top and would not power on. Going to buy new next time.
