Great quality starter receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the black Friday price this was only 99.99 and a very nice entry level Bluetooth receiver. I have four speakers hooked up and it operates just fine. Sound quality is better then expected.

Sony FM Stereo Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Satisfactory FM Stereo Reciever for my purpose. Seems to have plenty of power to drive my old speakers. Controls are a bit complicated compared to my old higher end receiver.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Phono input
Simple and sounds great but with Bluetooth issue.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a simple, no nonsense, hard to find 2 channel receiver with no fluff and does what its needed to do. Sounds great with my Bose speaker setup and Techincs turntable. I do have an odd issue when streaming Bluetooth to it though. When streaming to it from either a MacBook or my new Mac-mini, it will make a pop-scratch noise whenever it starts a new track or anything starting new and sometimes it will play like it has a lag effect where it sounds like its playing at a slower rate in the mud. I don't know what it is, other than that, I have no issues. I only bought this over the Yamaha R-S202BL because of the phono input.

Posted .Hi Bretto,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the receiver. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of Bluetooth issues. Pair the receiver again with the Bluetooth devices. If there are obstructions between the receiver and your BLUETOOTH device, remove them or move the receiver and/or device to avoid them. If there is a device that generates electromagnetic radiation, such as a wireless LAN, other BLUETOOTH devices, or a microwave oven nearby, move it away. Turn down the volume of the connected BLUETOOTH device. Resetting the receiver may also help resolve both issues:
1. Press (power) to turn off the receiver.
2. Press and hold (power) for 5 seconds. “CLEARING” appears on the display panel during initialization. When initialization is complete, “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.
Note: It takes a few seconds for the memory to be cleared completely. Do not turn the receiver off until “CLEARED ” appears on the display panel.
If still not resolved, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

A great receiver at an incredible price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is worth every penny I paid for it. It has inspired me to dust off my old CDs & LPs. I use it with 2 bookshelf size Athena speakers and an Athena subwoofer. Listening to music through phones and laptops should be criminalized. The sound of this inexpensive receiver takes me back to a time when an evening's entertainment was often getting together with friends listening to the latest LP release in its entirety and reading liner notes.

Excellent for a casual listener
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Delighted with the Receiver/amplifier. I am pleased that I was easily able to connect all the devices we have for playing recordings. Since we have been collecting recordings since the late '60's, we have media that range from vinyl, through cassette tapes and cd's - in addition to various devices that we use to stream media. The sound quality is good. I don't know if I would recommend the device for a true audiophile. But to my ear, it's very good.

Good bang for you buck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on Black Friday for $100. Easy setup, sounds great hooked up to my surround sound in my living room. Just wish it had more ways of connectivity but for the price and the fact that it’s Sony, I’m happy with my purchase. Hopefully it holds up through the years.
