    Worked well for two years and all of a sudden kept switching on by itself to pair Bluetooth and saying CSR AUDIO DONGLE. I’ve never seen it say that. And no matter which input i put it on, it keeps saying the same as above. Unplugged it to try to reset, used the remote but nothing seems to working. Got two years and 10 days out of it.

      Hi MJ30, Wow! We're very pleased to hear that this is what you've been looking for in a 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! -Sam Sony_US
