    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been using my same old receiver for my turntable for the past 15 years, and this one really impressed me, especially at this price point. It works amazing as a turntable receiver, the radio comes in clear, and the Bluetooth is really handy. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a great sounding receiver at a super affordable price. I did receive it with a lot of box damage and some dings to the unit itself, but I hate when people mark down their reviews for that kind of stuff as it doesn’t reflect the product, but wanted to note that Best Buy did help out and sent a partial refund.

    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!

    I bought this to power my AT120X turntable. It's about as simple as it gets for a stereo receiver but for its purpose there's no need to over-complicate it. The remote is really handy for making basic EQ changes on-the-fly while listening. I actually prefer the phono preamp on the receiver vs. the one on the more expensive turntable. Only thing I wish it had was a sub out but at this price point I can't complain.
