    Great compact design will fit between shelves very easily. I really like the feature where if you turn on your Bluetooth device, the stereo will automatically turn on. Good power and sound

      Hi Awesome, Thank you for this amazing review! We're glad you like the sleek design, powerful sound, and automatic power on function of your new 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 Sony_US

    Used this Sony reciver for outdoor Yamaha Speaker with max 150w & was happy with added Bluetooth feature that connects/pairs easily & without problems. Definitely recommend this Sony at this price point, especially for outdoor speakers that won’t be used year round.

    Works perfectly and eliminated a ground loop buzz I was struggling to get rid of. The Bluetooth capability is also a nice bonus. Pretty great quality for the price considering most decent receivers are not cheap.

    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.

      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 Sony_US

    We love our new Bluetooth receiver! We recently signed up with Spotify, and wanted a new receiver that we could hook up our existing speakers to, and this one is perfect! I would have given 5 stars, except that the item wasn't received until a week after it was promised.

    Good inexpensive receiver. Have it paired with so mid range speakers and the sound is OK, I'm sure it can drive better speakers. BT is good but it connects and turns on as soon as it detects a device which is a little annoying. All in all a solid receiver for the money.

      We are sorry if the Bluetooth function of this receiver did not meet your expectations. As part of the normal operation, the receiver connects to the last connected BLUETOOTH device. The BLUETOOTH connection will be disconnected when you perform either of the following operations:
      • Switch the input.
      • Turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the BLUETOOTH device.
      • Press BLUETOOTH PAIRING.
      • Turn off the receiver or the BLUETOOTH device.
      • Press BLUETOOTH on the receiver again.
