Customer Ratings & Reviews

First, it's a Sony. Sony has been around a long time and have produced reputable products and this unit is no exception. It has enough bells and whistles to keep you happy like bluetooth, turntable input and a few others. It will accept 4ohm speakers up to 8ohms and a remote control. It's eezy-peezy for someone like me who just wants to hook up his turntable, use my phone to bluetooth my preferred music and enjoy the great sound it produces.

If you're looking for a great amp/receiver to go with existing components and you don't want complicated or you don't want to break the bank, this is the unit for you. Fast setup, great sound and I really love the Bluetooth feature. It is an excellent receiver with Bluetooth to hook music from our iPhones and iPads. I also really love the loudness adjustment for phonograph. Highly recommended!

Needed a simple but flexible receiver for a simple sound system in the house. Have a turntable and this was just about the only receiver/amp that had a phono input. The records sound great. Plugged in a small CD player into one of the inputs and it sounded great. Then the Bluetooth synced no problem to the iPhone and plays music just great. Remote control works just fine. Never have to touch the receiver.

This Sony product is easy to use and sounds great. Connects to bluetooth quickly and easily. Phono input for your vinyl collection.

So far (1 month) this purchase has worked out very well. It was easy to connect, the only difficulty being that you have to find out the resistance of your speakers, and set the receiver appropriately. It is nice that this has a phono input. I have not hooked this up yet, so can't comment on the quality of this. Sound quality from my TV, and on the CD player is good. I only briefly tried the FM tuner. I was disappointed with this. White noise on some stations that I previously was able to pick up quite clearly, It seems to be down to the provided antenna, and there doesn't seem to be a choice on the back of the machine for alternative antenna types, so you are stuck with a single wire type. Maybe a longer antenna wire will help? I'm deducting a star for this at this point, because, whereas I'm not big on listening to radio, some people will be, and this is a weakness. If I find a fix I'll update my review. The remote controller is intuitive and very functional - no issues here. Overall, for the price, this a great value

I bought it for my room stereo. Sound great with good power for bookshelves speakers. I like the Bluetooth function. Simple to use.

Sony has delivered just what the doctor ordered. This was for a music classroom. Just two channel stereo. Clean sound, plenty of power. I love that the remote has a volume button. Those are hard to come by, but extremely useful. And the Bluetooth feature will come in very handy for music options on the fly.

Excellent sound, very easy to connect. The bass and treble adjustments do not adjust that much, but they are at least available. Works well with the ancient speakers my spouse refuses to get rid of!!!

This serves the purpose I needed it for: to run my ceiling speakers. It was easy to set up, and the sound quality and ease of use is great. Turn it on, connect to Bluetooth, and boom: off to the races. The only problem I have, and what’s preventing a five star review, is that it is way bigger than I though. So big, in fact, that it won’t fit in my media center. Right now it’s living on the floor next to everything until I figure out what to do.

Easy to setup, easy to use, nice connections and sound. Definitely worth the price. One of the few that has a good phono input

Getting used to the remote when I am normally a button and tuner knob guy took a bit but for the price around$200 I think it plays well, more than power for good speakers and technics turntable and Onkyo disc player sound great

Having had Sony gear in the past, and not looking for or needing a lot of power or options, this has been a great choice. The bluetooth works well, it has plenty of power to drive my subwoofer / satellite system plus another set of speakers at the other end of the house. My only criticism: the display could be brighter at its max. You can control EVERYTHING with the remote. A sound value for any music listener.

All I needed was a receiver that had Bluetooth to stream from my iPhone & computer to practice my music with & this receiver is absolutely excellent for my use. All the connections one needs, great sound, user friendly. Love the remote, never have to get off my seat to do what I need to do as far as music. Play pedal steel. Would recommend.

I was looking for an inexpensive but quality receiver to replace my 40 year old Hitachi solid state receiver which would have cost a small fortune to refurbish. Totally surprised by the sound, the features (including bluetooth), and the sleekness of this product at a very affordable price. You cannot go wrong with this receiver.

If you are in a budget this is the receiver for you, sounds good, enough power the only complaint, no sub out.

I have yet to get a bad product from Best Buy and this receiver is just as good as the rest! Great price, easy to use, good sound!

I've had one of these units in my garage for years. I've had no issues despite it being a dusty, non-climate controlled environment. This always provides a decent sound quality and connects to my phone without issue

Great price, bit the quality is amazing. East to setup and a breeze to use. Remote was user friendly and the directions were very easy to understand.

Great receiver for the price I really like that I can use my turntable and Bluetooth I have no complaints of this receiver I would recommend it to anyone who want a budget receiver it's easy to hook up and use sound good playing though even cheap speakers you can hook up to four speakers to it I like it very much

I am using the received to power 11 in-ceiling speakers (5 indoor and 6 indoor). The receiver is two-zone (A and B) and provides plenty of volume for these speakers. Price point is excellent value for the quality. Also works well with Phono and Bluetooth Audio (e.g., from your iPhone), which turns on the receiver remotely.
