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.

Good Analog Stereo Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver to power two small bookshelf speakers and have been using it as an amplifier, fed by a Dragonfly DAC attached to my Mac mini. It is working well and produces good, clean sound when played in the Pure Direct mode that bypasses all tone controls. In fact, it has exceeded my expectations for the price. Easy to use and no complaints. Cannot comment on the bluetooth or channel tuning, since I do not use them.

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.

Great simple receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I appreciate how easy it was to set this up. Coming from a 7 speaker multi channel advanced receiver which was not easy to troubleshoot issues I enjoyed setting up this Sony receiver. My needs are a lot simpler now and this receiver was up and running in 30 minutes. Sound is crisp and clear. I’m also excited I can play my Vinyl again too

Just Right for Small Stereo Setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an older Sony that finally gave out. The old one was surround sound, but was only being used to drive a couple of stereo speakers to play LP's and CD's. The bluetooth on this unit was an added plus. Easy set up and great sound.

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 piece of equipment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for our daughter who needed a receiver so that she could use her new turntable and speakers. She loves it! It has more than enough power for her to play her music at a probably-louder-than-the-neighbors-would-like level, and she can use it with her phone if she just wants to play music off her Spotify.

Great Value & Fantastic Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The amplifier is worth far more than what I paid for it. The sound is superb, and at 100 watts per channel there's plenty of power to push my floor-standing speakers.

Great sound for my turntable and iPhone
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a solid stereo receiver with a turntable amp to hook up with my turntable. I think this one cost less than the Sony receiver I bought 20 years ago. Great sound and it has Bluetooth capability for connecting with my iPhone or iPad. My only regret is it doesn’t have a Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headphones.

It work well so returned to get a second
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally found what I was looking for a while; price, good name and quality to boot. I really wanted to get an Amp that had quality of sound and acceptable power. I love the Amp so much that I returned to purchased a second unit for our additional room at home. The second unit was as good as the first one, excellent.

Sony Receiver Is Like Heaven To My Ears
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This amplifier also brought my living room to life again. I LOVE hearing my surround sound again. My original receiver got too old and stopped working. At only about $99, this was a STEAL for me. Thanks, Best Buy. I love hearing the good vibes again. I set the happy tone for my day listening to sweet, sweet music!

Solid unit
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit for the price. Happy with sound quality. Some reviewer reported problems inserting speaker wires. But I was able to use our old Cyrus speakers without any trouble. Other reviewers note that it doesn't have an AM channel. One can easily stream that from, say, one's phone via the unit's Bluetooth capability.
