Just what I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Another great SONY product. I just needed a small no frills receiver for a medium-sized room with two excellent speakers and a large CD collection. No home theatre or other luxuries. This SONY filled the bill perfectly; it has just enough power, is easy to operate and the sound it and the speakers provide is superb. I've bought many SONY electronic products in the past, and based on my experience with this receiver, will continue to do so.

Basic Receiver/Simple Set Up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great simple and basic receiver! I use it to power my outside speakers. It works perfectly for what I need it for. I enjoy the BT feature. I also like that it is smaller than most receivers so it fits perfectly into any tv stand or any furniture that can house A/V components. I own 4 receivers and they are all Sony. They are good quality and stand the test of time.

Budget Receiver that Evolved into a 2.1 then 2.2
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is the most surprising purchase that I have made for my home entertainment system. I literally bought it sight unseen without reading any reviews so that I could play my record player through it to my speakers. With that said, it has exceeded all of my expectations and now directs traffic from my PC, blu-ray player, music streaming service, movie streaming services, and my record player. With all of these different functions it delivers amazing stereo sound quality. I know that it is rated as a 2.0 system, but with a couple subwoofers and some speaker wire splicing it now functions as a 2.1 or 2.2 system beautifully. It is rated to 100 watts and I would have to say that it delivers, all though I don't crank it up that high normally. When I have though I have not experienced any distortion. This is a great purchase and lets you experience amazing sound at an amazing budget price. I highly recommend it.

Perfect if you don't need multi-channel output
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife's studio, replacing a 20-year old JVC receiver. Since it's not being used in a living room or with an entertainment center, 2-channel output was all that was needed. The sound quality is excellent through the Polk speakers already in place. The Bluetooth pairing was effortless. As soon as the receiver is turned on, it immediately syncs with her iPhone. And the quality is as good as the sound when playing CDs or tapes through the unit. Be aware that this receiver is FM only. But you can easily play AM stations through your Bluetooth phone. I'm a longtime fan of Sony equipment, and this is not my first Sony stereo receiver. This one is absolutely the right device for this application... However... A couple of caveats — Sony provides a single-wire antenna with a special plug at the receiver end. The receiver will accept the plug, but there is no way to connect a stand-alone or amplified FM antenna. That said, the FM receiver is so good that even with the single wire we can still get more than a dozen stations clearly. Another thing to consider: most of the functions are controlled by the remote, which works very well. Just be careful not to lose or damage the remote or you'll be out of luck.

Nice Looking unit
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good features and easy to install. Not sure about the FM antenna and plug in back of the unit. I wish there was a more common adapter and length of the antenna was longer. Worried about reception. Love the bluetooth feature for sound. I have trouble pairing too my bluetooth headphones. Not sure how

Posted .Hi DaleS, Thank you for the 5-star rating! Good to hear you like the ease of installation, Bluetooth feature, and overall features of the receiver. If you're having trouble pairing to your Bluetooth headphones. Please follow the steps below if you cannot make a Bluetooth
connection with your headphones:
• The BLUETOOTH device you attempted to
connect does not support the A2DP
profile, and cannot be connected with
the receiver.
• Press BLUETOOTH to connect to the last
connected BLUETOOTH device.
• Turn on the BLUETOOTH function of the
BLUETOOTH device.
• Establish a connection from the
BLUETOOTH device.
• The pairing registration information has
been erased. Perform the pairing
operation again.
• While connected to a BLUETOOTH device,
this receiver cannot be detected.
• Erase the pairing registration information
of the BLUETOOTH device on the
BLUETOOTH device and perform the
pairing operation again.
You can't connect an external FM antenna to your A/V receiver, but you can improve the FM reception.
Adjust the position of the supplied FM wire antenna (aerial) to a place where the reception condition is good.
Place the antenna near a window.
Position the antenna as horizontally as possible.

Great receiver at a great price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver was exactly what I needed. I have a turntable and some nice speakers I had just repaired and was looking for that sweet vinyl sound. The Sony pairs well with my passive speakers and has enough extras to make it a great hub for many of my media needs. I’m impressed with its overall performance and especially the price.

Best value around
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 of these for backyard, 1 for patio and 1 for pool. It's Bluetooth ready but didn't know if distance from porch to pool deck was too far. Turns out I only needed 1, works great and sound is beautiful. Hooked up 2 speakers at pool and 2 speakers on patio with 1 receiver. Even the fm radio comes in clear and I get many Moore stations than I used to. Remote control does everything and easy to use.

Sony receiver review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony receiver replaced a 25 year old Sony receiver and I can say nothing but positives about it. First receiver I have bought with BlueTooth, which works very well. Phone input as I still have a Denon turntable with SME arm and 500 jazz vinyl albums..several other inputs for CD player and CD changer. Very impressed with this $149 receiver!!

Sounds good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read a review which stated that the Bluetooth “might” work with a Samsung smart tv and another said it’s not guaranteed. I took the gamble and it works. I also plugged in my old iPod, tested my iPhone, both worked using Bluetooth. The sound is very nice. I gave 4 stars because there’s an FM station that I listen to from car and the receiver doesn’t get that station clearly. But I was able to find a substitute station for it.
