Overall great value.

A great 2-Channel Receiver at an amazing price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this receiver to replace the 30-year-old 5.1 Channel Sony Prologic Receiver in my living room, but decided to locate this one to replace the 50-year-old Pioneer SX780 on my back porch. It works fine in either room, with superb sound quality, even when engaging both A and B speakers simultaneously. As the porch houses my treadmill, this 2.0 Channel elevates the sound well-over the noise of the treadmill, so that I can actually enjoy whatever I am watching on TV. This is a great primary receiver for those who don't already have a set up for 5 channels and with all those RCA inputs, will accommodate "old school" components. It serves well as a secondary receiver to the Sony 5.2 Channel that I bought a week later.

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Great value. Bluetooth works great. Much preferred to my Onkyo TX-8020. Sadly, neither have an actual tape loop to patch in eq or room correction or a tape deck.

Posted .Hi ckcoolic, Thank you for the amazing review! We're very happy to hear you like the Bluetooth function and you feel that the price is worth it. We appreciate your feedback. The current line of Sony receivers do not have a tape monitor loop. For this reason, it is not possible to connect an add-on equalizer to current Sony AV receivers. And most Sony receivers feature a built in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Equalizer. The addition of an equalizer is not needed, and would provide no additional benefit to the overall sound output of the 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! Thanks for choosing Sony. -Sam

This system is a great background music machine.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great Amp/Receiver. It is clean, and the sound quality is exceptional for an entry-level system. I bought new wire, and speakers. This makes all the difference. I use a Sony CD/DVD player. I am going to buy another set of new speakers for the other room: all new- fresh start. My turntable is Ok, but I will probably buy a new one. The remote is a lot of fun.

Great value for a small amp.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was what I was looking for. I wanted a small amp with a phono input. I have it hooked up to a pair of bookshelf speakers. Audio quality is good and enough power for the room they are in. As a bonus, it has Bluetooth and my IPad easily links up to you.
