Music to my ears
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works very well as my second sound system in another room where I use only quality bookshelf speakers. The bluetooth feature works very well so I can play music off my phone. The A-B speaker selection is very good as I use two different brand of bookshelf speakers with each brand having a different sound to my ears. The remote control provides full control over the receiver and is really easy to use. This receiver also allows you to use 6 ohm speakers as well as the standard 8 ohm speakers. This was purchased to replace my old Sony two channel reciever that finally died after many years of use in playing almost every day from morning to late afternoon.

Posted .Hi VaughnS,
Very nice! Thank you for the purchase and we're pleased to hear that you like the sound quality of the AV receiver. 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! Thank you again for choosing Sony and your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Slightly Old School
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is very good for a receiver at this price point. It's purely analog; no digital inputs or outputs on this thing, but that's what DACs are for. Nice phono stage and an FM tuner. Probably the reason for the less than perfect rating is the lack being able to precisely manually tune to your stations. Instead I have to rely on auto scanning to lock on. It doesn't always do that.

Great bluetooth reciever for the money. Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little receiver for the money. Bluetooth connects easy and i have a old sony 5 disk charger connected to it and its flawless. Only complaint if i had to say anything would be maybe add more power but it does sound great and works great just like my old aystem but with updated technology such as bluetooth. Love this system

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.

Good but not great - but still good for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is nice and I can't complain about the crisp output when listening to vinyl. To keep this short, I'll share the things that could be better. The antenna. It's short and doesn't pick up FM stations all that far away. If you want to replace it, good luck finding one to fit the port on the receiver. Next, the simple, low hum that is very apparent when nothing is playing but the unit is on. Doesn't matter if the turntable is off, it still hums. You can't notice it when the music is playing, and for that, it does a great job. Last, the tuning of stations. The auto-tune works well, but what if you want to manually tune something? Forget about it. It doesn't really allow manually tuning by frequency. If you get good with the auto feature, you can eventually get to a station that is less in signal strength by tuning one way (automatically) then stopping the search up by tuning in the other direction right at the exact time you are on the frequency you want. Yes, it's tricky, but it can be done. If you can get past these three things, you'll enjoy this receiver. Overall, for the money, this is a good buy.

great sound and really gives me more options.

I can pair it with my iPhone and iHeart or Pandora and have the world at my ears and it sounds great with my Klipsch or Kenwood speakers. That remote is real convenient.

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.

Sony Amp
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good buy at the price point. So good I bought two. I would've given it five stars but for the way speaker wire is connected to the amp. I don't like baring the tip of the input wire to the amp, and clamping it in. I like plugs.
