Works great!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed an upgrade from an old non bluetooth. Happy I bought it at a good price. Connects to my cell phone easily with a touch of the button on remote. I have it hooked up to a powered subwoofer to watch movies.

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.

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.

Bluetooth connects easy and i have a old sony 5 disk charger connected to it and its flawless.

Great Receiver/Amp with Turntable Inputs.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a great stereo receiver/amp. It's a SONY, so you know it's top quality. It is powerful. It has multiple inputs. But the main feature, and the reason I bought it -- was the input for a turntable. Like many of us, we still have our old (or new) turntable, and this unit has the correct input for it.And with BestBuy's deals, the price was just too good to pass up. You can't go wrong with this receiver.

Great Unit for the Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The combination of phono, FM receiver, and multiple inputs were exactly what was needed.

Useful Utility Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a receiver in my home gym to power up some old speakers I had laying around Pros- Price ($99), Bluetooth, Ease of Use , Set it up and started playing music in 5 minutes Cons- Size . Not really a Con, but we are spoiled now with portable speakers and I haven't used a receiver in 10+ years. Smaller than what I had though for sure

Great Stereo Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great stereo receiver! It’s more than adequate to power my Yamaha outdoor speakers. It also has a photo input with ground which is awesome for my 80’s turntable! Doesn’t have subwoofer out, but input 4 has an output (for tape recordings). I used it with a Y cable to send a signal to a subwoofer when we want some extra oomph.

Just what I needed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup, intuitive controls. Wanted to be able to play some old vinyl and needed a receiver with the PHONO jacks ...which was difficult to find at a good price point. The sound is outstanding. Also, the FM reception is so much better than what I typically try to use, so I can enjoy a lot more music. The price was excellent.

Stereo receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our new home had built in speakers that we really wanted to use instead of a soundbar. In doing our research we found this model was rated high for our needs. We were suprised to see it at BestBuy and on sale. It was easy to hook up and blends in well with our TV.

Amazing receiver at this price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only owned for a month now and, to date, I could not be happier with this receiver. I was concerned, given its price, that sound quality would not be good. It has, however, given new life to my BO bookshelf speakers - they never sounded better. Simple to set up and simply to use. Hopefully built quality is up to Sony standards and it will last a long time.

Great Sony receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony is really great for the money. There’s a NY Times review that says the same thing. It has turntable jacks. Yay! Looks great. Sounds good. The blue tooth paired right up with my iPad and iPhone which have music on them, and I can play utube music through my stereo. The remote is intuitive. A great buy, so far.
