Upgraded my record player set-up with this!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to upgrade my record player with more premium sound, so I purchased this receiver and other Sony speakers. Very easy to use and set up with multiple outputs/inputs. I love turning the dials, they have a semi-analog feel to them. The Bluetooth capability is also very neat, I use it to play music from iPhone as well.

Good value for a basic receiver
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No frills receiver for listening to stereo music without all the extra unnecessary channels and surround sound. There's an input jack in front for using an iPod. I also use it for listening to CDs and sometimes for watching movies with my TV hooked up to it. More than powerful enough for my needs as I don't turn up the volume very loud. Good enough for two bookshelf speakers.

For the price you can't go wrong
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't argue with the price. I was expecting it to be all plastic for the price, but it's got some weight to it. It does have plenty of power and the Bluetooth works well. The volume button is really stiff, I'm assuming that is intentional so you don't bump it up too fast? Phono preamp works fine. Plenty of inputs really. You can relabel the inputs, but just one letter, not sure if that helps. The only drawback I've seen is that the speaker clips are pretty cheap. I have 12 gauge speaker wire that doesn't fit into them actually. I just bought a $80 Fosi amp that has banana plugs on it, the clips on these are where they cut costs.

cheap fix for turntable problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what it is, it is excellent. My hitech Yamaha had no way to connect a turntable, so I had to go lowtech. This is plain stereo (perfect for turntable), has input for turntable and enough power to make most of us happy. And it is inexpensive, as the next price point was $400 more for turntable connectivity. Great stuff!

Easy Sound

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to replace a 30-year old receiver to go with my 20-year old KLH floor speakers with hard wiring. The Bluetooth music input to the receiver works flawlessly and the 100W per channel power my KLHs provide a rich sound experience. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Simple pairing, excellent sound.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My mids are so much clearer. Actually I initially purchased a Yamaha bluetooth receiver but the pairing was complicated at best,so I returned it and purchased the Sony receiver that also had great reviews. The pairing was very simple and the sound was great.

Good machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great replacement for my very old (40+ yrs) receiver. My only complaints are the volume knob is stiff to turn and the function led lights are too small. Like the remote Bluetooth 'on' function. Easy set up.

Tremendous value for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since most audio equipment and television is now capable of Bluetooth transmission/reception, this receiver is pretty much all one needs for Blue-Ray/DVD/CD players, cable television boxes, and turntables. The radio reception is fairly good, but an adapter, allowing the use of a coax cable antenna would be a nice addition. Perfect for bedrooms, and studys, and more than adequate for most family rooms or livingrooms.

Tuner, phono, many inputs and Bluetooth receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This stereo receiver is the perfect upgrade from my decades old receiver. It has a phono input for my turntable and inputs for my CD player and tv (and a few more unused inputs) as well as a built in radio tuner. I really like the bluetooth receiver. It is easy to stream music from my tablet to this receiver. Note: the bluetooth stream is one-way, from a tablet or phone into the receiver. The receiver cannot send output to bluetooth speakers.

Excellent value for a great basic receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very basic, only 2 channels, 100w per channel, but the design is outstanding if basic is all you need. Has Bluetooth which is simple to work, so plays from any device. Also has a mini-plug input on the front panel if device doesn’t have Bluetooth, and 4 standard rca inputs for cd, dvd, etc. Simple to work, sound is clean even when cranked up, and even has a very useful remote! I was happily surprised with the thought given to make this totally usable in a basic use situation.
