    Bad Open Box - Unit Did Not Work

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Let me preface this with that I've had really good experiences buying open box from Best Buy. I've gotten two Sony TVs, a UHD-DVD player and other things that might as well have been new. But - lemme tell you - this was not one of them. The receiver arrived in the box upside with a couple of ripped in half styrofoam pieces for packaging. There was a random RCA cable, presumably from the previous owner, attached and the FM antenna wire had been jammed into its' slot, broken off and was unable to be removed. And then, upon plugging it in, the amplifier didn't work...at all. Supposedly this was vetted by Best Buy staff as it was rated "Open Box Good" but very clearly no one had even bothered to look at it since it was originally returned before. Can't give a rating on the amplifier as it didn't work so one star for the poor open box experience.

      Hi Darla, That's great! We're very pleased to hear you find it easy to setup. 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! -Sam Sony_US
