    FM reception poor. The tuning knob needs to be weighted. Otherwise very happy with the performance. Happy it has a turntable input

    The Sony receiver is a decent product for its price. If you are an audiofile trying to revive your record collection, I recommend you purchase a different product.

    I did not need the subwoofer input for my setup so this was all I needed. The preamp is perfect for my record player as well.

      Hi ReviewerNo1, Great! We're happy to hear the unit works perfectly with your record player. 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

      Hi colinrdavidson, Good to know that this is what you're looking for in a stereo receiver. To ensure you're getting a great FM signal reception, please refer to these steps:

      • Extend and adjust the position of the FM
      wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the
      reception conditions are good.
      • Place the FM wire antenna (aerial) near a
      window.
      • Position the FM wire antenna (aerial) as
      horizontally as possible.

      Hope this helps!

      Regards,
      Sam Sony_US

    This came with box already damaged, but I didn't make a big deal about it. However the reciver went completely dead after 5 months. I'm not sure if I can return it or have it replaced. This was a open box item,however there's no way it should have died on me that quickly. I recommend trying something different than this particular device in that it just stopped working for no reason
