    This is a good beginning stereo receiver with turntable connectors. Basic stereo receiver controls for a two channel system. Able to connect two sets of speakers if needed.

      Hi TroyH, Thank you for the perfect rating! We're so glad you like the great sound quality and it worked really well so far. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    No frills, no blinkin lights, just a powerful clean amp at a reasonable price. Wish they made a cd deck that wasn’t overpriced to go with this.

      Hi KingFang,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're very happy to hear you're satisfied with your purchase and you like the great performance of the receiver. Unfortunately, this AV receiver doesn't have an output for a subwoofer. The available inputs and outputs on the subwoofer will determine whether or not the subwoofer will be compatible with this receiver. Check the subwoofer to determine if it has IN and OUT speaker wire connections. If so, connect the left and right speaker wires from the stereo receiver into the left and right speaker IN on the subwoofer. Then, connect speaker wire from the left and right speaker OUT on the subwoofer to the left and right main speakers. If the subwoofer does not have IN and OUT speaker wire connections, then it will not be compatible with the stereo 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! -Jess Sony_US

    Good price when on sale. Receiver gets the job done but it’s only 2 channels. Before I knew it, I was connecting something else and wished I would’ve gone with a different one. Overall, good receiver though.

    Replaced a cheaper class D 2channel pyle amp. Definitely worth spending a bit more for this as it sounds better with no "buzz" when no input signal. No hdmi, would have been nice to have at least 1 as I drive a pair of speakers and a garage TV with this. Bought for speaker A/B ability, now I can drive an outdoor TV/stereo set up with 1 receiver :)

    I thought since it was a Sony it would be better than it actually is. It is just OK. I have a little trouble zoning in on a couple of channels. I don't know if it is the receiver or maybe just my location.
