Very Nice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Attached to my 40 year old Yamaha NS-9191 speakers and it blows the roof off. Bluetooth is great with receiver auto on from device. Every song in the library at the touch of a button. Sleek Black look very nice as well. Great value.

Great quality and price point!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for this prices point and very user friendly. I hooked this up to my older JBL 12 inch speakers and placed them on my garage for audio while I use my home gym. I didn’t want to break the bank because it’s in a garage. But this receiver is blasting my neighbors out lol I love opening the garage and making the whole neighborhood hear it! The Bluetooth is perfect it connects with no issues and reconnects after the power is turned off then I turn it on again for the next use. The radio works perfect with the supplied antenna no static at all on AM or FM. The remote has all functions it fast forwards the tracks and songs fast and perfectly. I would say for 200 bucks this is a great choice for inside the house or a garage or backyard application. Another great product form Sony!

Great replacement receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this unit in order to have Bluetooth capabilities. I have of vinyl, cds, and thousands of digital. I needed one unit which could handle turntable, cd changer, and digital. This unit worked well with my wired speakers ( I only use Bluetooth speakers when I don’t care what my music sounds like) and that would be never. So if you like your music clear and clean with full bodied sound this unit works well. If you listen through Bluetooth speakers then what does it matter. There is enough power to shake the house if needed. I’m using it for music only in my painting studio and it does just fine. Great speakers make the difference and this Sony has plenty of power to push out the sound as it was made to be heard. I am still learning more of its capabilities. My old Sony receive was 10 years old and is now out in the workshop. Still works fine.

Good Receiver, but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, this is a good receiver to "get the job done". I have had a few difficulties with it, however, that have irritated me. One is that when I am connected to some bluetooth devices, there is a loud static noise when playing songs or videos. I love the bluetooth feature, so I have been using it, only to have my ears hurt from this sound at the beginning of songs. All that beings, said, this receiver does seem to produce a clear reproduction and has an easy to use remote. My Klipsch reference speakers sound great through it when I have the bass turned up a bit on the receiver. As others have mentioned, the EQ options are just bass and treble, and the bass tuning is frustrating as it seems low and when I cut bass up it starts to get muddy (tuning too much into the mids/bass).

Posted .Hi chadthepianist,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. While we're glad you like the receiver, we're sorry to hear the issues that you are having when using Bluetooth connection. You may try some of the steps below to isolate the issue.
Severe humming or noise.
• If there are obstructions between the receiver and your BLUETOOTH device, remove them or move the receiver and/or device avoid them.
• If there is a device that generates electromagnetic radiation, such as a wireless LAN, other BLUETOOTH device, or a microwave oven nearby, move it away.
• Turn down the volume of the connected BLUETOOTH device
You can adjust the tonal balance of the speakers. Please refer to the receiver manual on page 21.

Great Value, Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've seen a few reviews on this amp. It did not disappoint. I am impressed with the power and clarity. I have a much more powerful/expensive amp, but it makes my speakers sound bad, but the Sony amp does a great job with my KEF LS50's.

Good stereo at good value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a similar Sony Receiver for years but wanted to connect an older turntable to play my large album collection. I also wanted to be able to connect into my Sonos speaker system. This Sony comes with a phono input so it provides the amplifier needed to play the turntable which my older Sony did not. This receiver worked as expected for all my components- turntable and CD player. Only issue I had with Sonos was the phono amp did not have enough power to use the Sonos speakers although it worked great with the wired speakers on the Receiver. I had to add a small pre-amp in between the phono input and Sonos Connect to actually boost amps into Sonos to hear the turntable and it seemed to have done the trick.

Great basic receiver!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ii bought this receiver for my garage. I have a pair of older Sound Dynamic shelf speakers that it runs very nicely. It works great for what I need and want. I'm sure it would be great for running larger speakers as well. The bluetooth connected to my Samsung S7 quickly and easily. The remote is easy to understand as well. It's very nice having a simple button to push for easy bass and treble adjustment and not having to go through menus. The knobs are very solid on the unit. I have always been turned off when the knobs feel loose. It gives them a cheap feel. Not with this unit. They are very firm. The receiver is also quite heavy. I'm not a technology guy or have any real detailed data to back this up, but it being heavy tells me there's actually real components in there! LOL. It's a great buy and worth every penny.
