    A solid and good-sounding stereo receiver. I really like that it automatically recognizes my phone over Bluetooth. It also has plenty of inputs for sources like my HD radio. My Vandersteen speakers sound great with it!

      Hi Jeff, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Good to hear you like the easy Bluetooth pairing, multiple inputs, and it works and sounds great with your speakers. 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

    Ii bought this receiver for my garage. I have a pair of older Sound Dynamic shelf speakers that it runs very nicely. It works great for what I need and want. I'm sure it would be great for running larger speakers as well. The bluetooth connected to my Samsung S7 quickly and easily. The remote is easy to understand as well. It's very nice having a simple button to push for easy bass and treble adjustment and not having to go through menus. The knobs are very solid on the unit. I have always been turned off when the knobs feel loose. It gives them a cheap feel. Not with this unit. They are very firm. The receiver is also quite heavy. I'm not a technology guy or have any real detailed data to back this up, but it being heavy tells me there's actually real components in there! LOL. It's a great buy and worth every penny.

    My fourty year old amp was having issues. Went to Best Buy so I could have tunes when I get off of work. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY JOICE. It is blue tooth capable and I can hook up my old equipment. [ turn table, 8 track, cassette, and C.D.player ]

    This receiver has both Bluetooth and phono input, along with multiple line level inputs. Not many receivers have both and this is the only one I found at this price point. Remote control included. Overall great receiver for the money.

    Got this to replace the 1980’s Sony version of this receiver. It works well with our classic turntable and has lots of inputs for other components. The sound is great and Bluetooth is the best. You can stream your favorite radio stations or Pandora. Overall great value.

    After 35 years, my old receiver would no longer turn on. This is a good replacement 2- channel receiver. It does everything that my old receiver did, plus it has Bluetooth. I was able to connect my family room TV's sound to the receiver. I also have a turntable and blu-ray / CD player connected, As it is 2-channel, it is not for those who want home theater with multiple sets of speakers and a subwoofer.

    When this went on sale, it became one of the best value's I could find for a Bluetooth receiver. hookup was easy and the pairing to my phone was quick. I hooked it up to my outdoor Bose speakers and the backyard was playing music again.

    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.

    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.
