      Hi Ears! Thank you for this awesome review! We're glad you like the Bluetooth option, sound quality, and ease of use of the unit. 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! Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    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.

    Having a new patio built wanted outdoor speakers and needed a way to power them. This works perfect and having Bluetooth built in is the main reason we got it. And it works perfectly. I've always had Sony equipment and this one fits right in on the quality I expected. Super price getting it as an open box. Really enjoying it!

    This is a great product for the money if you want a 2 channel receiver. I purchased this for the Bluetooth connectivity (outdoor patio). Range is very good (~50’) for phone or tablet. Set up was easy.

    We have wired speakers outside around the pool and inherited the last homeowner's receiver. It finally died. This is perfect - inexpensive and can connect to Alexa and all of our phones. Since we are spending a ton of time outside around the pool during social distancing, it is wonderful to have our music back out there.

    Music to my ears

    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.

    Using this to power my 2 Polk patio speakers. Has good range and power. Best part is that you can connect outside by connecting to the Bluetooth and it auto turns on. No remote needed! It’s pretty big for a 2 speaker amp, only drawback is it’s size. Otherwise pretty happy with it so far for the price.

    I’ve owned 4 stereo receivers, but this is my first one with Bluetooth capability so you can play music from your smart phone. It’s a great value for 100 watts per channel of power. The remote includes controls for bass and treble adjustments “from your couch.” It includes a phono input for a turntable.

    I actually bought a more expensive model but that one would not accommodate my turntable. So I bought this one that has a dedicated connection for the turntable and I couldn’t be more pleased. It was even on sale.

    For the price this stereo receiver can't be beat. This amplifier sounds clean and loud. Bluetooth is fast and flawless. My only complaint is the cheap spring speaker clips, but not enough to deduct a star. You have to speak 10x more to get something significantly better

    Using this for a classic stereo system set-up, not a home theater. Using for listening to vinyl, so I needed something that could accept phono. The range of sound is perfectly fine, and I like that it is very simple. The remote that comes with it has a lot of features. This receiver is nice, and a good value.
