Great value for a small amp.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was what I was looking for. I wanted a small amp with a phono input. I have it hooked up to a pair of bookshelf speakers. Audio quality is good and enough power for the room they are in. As a bonus, it has Bluetooth and my IPad easily links up to you.

Greatest receiver for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this Sony reciver for outdoor Yamaha Speaker with max 150w & was happy with added Bluetooth feature that connects/pairs easily & without problems. Definitely recommend this Sony at this price point, especially for outdoor speakers that won’t be used year round.

A great 2-Channel Receiver at an amazing price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this receiver to replace the 30-year-old 5.1 Channel Sony Prologic Receiver in my living room, but decided to locate this one to replace the 50-year-old Pioneer SX780 on my back porch. It works fine in either room, with superb sound quality, even when engaging both A and B speakers simultaneously. As the porch houses my treadmill, this 2.0 Channel elevates the sound well-over the noise of the treadmill, so that I can actually enjoy whatever I am watching on TV. This is a great primary receiver for those who don't already have a set up for 5 channels and with all those RCA inputs, will accommodate "old school" components. It serves well as a secondary receiver to the Sony 5.2 Channel that I bought a week later.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly and eliminated a ground loop buzz I was struggling to get rid of.

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Great value. Bluetooth works great. Much preferred to my Onkyo TX-8020. Sadly, neither have an actual tape loop to patch in eq or room correction or a tape deck.

Posted .Hi ckcoolic, Thank you for the amazing review! We're very happy to hear you like the Bluetooth function and you feel that the price is worth it. We appreciate your feedback. The current line of Sony receivers do not have a tape monitor loop. For this reason, it is not possible to connect an add-on equalizer to current Sony AV receivers. And most Sony receivers feature a built in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Equalizer. The addition of an equalizer is not needed, and would provide no additional benefit to the overall sound output of the 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. -Sam
- Pros mentioned:BluetoothCons mentioned:Volume
Mostly Positive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, works well with Bluetooth connections from my smart phone. Two concerns: There is a delay of about five seconds before the sound begins, and the volume knob moves in timy increments. Set up was easy. Price is very reasonable.

Posted .Hi Quill, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Good to know you like the ease of use, easy Bluetooth pairing, and reasonable price of your new receiver. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the audio delay. Can you tell us what source are you referring to? If it is from a Bluetooth device, the audio playback on this receiver may be
delayed from that on the BLUETOOTH device
because of the characteristics of the
BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
For volume control issues and if the delay is coming from a different source, please contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US for further assistance.
