      Hi TravisF,

      Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you like the easy setup feature and sound quality of the AV 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Good receiver! I purchased this receiver for my grandson who is an avid vinyl record collector. The reason I picked this is because it had a "phono" input for a turntable. Many other brands and models did not. He is quite pleased with the performance and sound!

    I did not know that I had to have a receiver in order for our speakers to work. I was not told by my salesman that I needed one. So it was an inconvenience to have to make another trip to Best Buy and purchase it before I could have the speakers installed.

    Good value for a stereo receiver, only drawback is that you cannot hook up an external antenna. It only has a unique style plug to use with the basic thin wire antenna that comes with the unit. No coax plug or screw terminal plugs.

    This our second purchase. First was to connect outside speakers, inside, xm, etc. This is for smart TVs, surround, xm, etc in lower level. Only complaint is that my speakers.don’t appear to have the same power. Could just be me. Stuck in the old Pioneer receiver days.

    I bought the receiver that I had since late 70s. I bought it a yard sale. After so many years different things no longer worked properly so broke down and replaced it. I did it on line and in a few days it was at my door. I now enjoy listening to the large collection of albums I have.

    Excellent 2.0 receiver. I'm convinced to go all Sony with future component purchases through Best Buy. Next up will be 5.2; then their turntable. After two Sony 65" TV's, it makes sense.
