    Just what we needed. Very switchable output for every input, including a discrete phono; and plenty of power for my 4ohm speakers. Much easier to hook up and use than the 1080 it replaced since I don't really need the video functions in this location.

      Hi MovieFan, We appreciate this positive feedback! Good to know that this is what you're looking for in a stereo 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

    This was exactly what I was looking for a small inexpensive receiver for my garage with plenty of power to crank up the volume. It even has Blue tooth if I only had a smart phone I would have it made

    This Sony receiver is great with lots of inputs for my various components including input jacks for my turntable. Also can stream music through Bluetooth. My only complaint is the fm reception is not nearly as good as my 30 year old Teac receiver had been and the Sony lacks an am tuner.

    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.

    Excellent 2 channel receiver - has phono input along with blue tooth! The audio quality is good, and plenty of power to drive bookshelf or even larger floor speakers. Easy to set up, program stations, connect devices thru the blue tooth. There are a few misses however. There is no dedicated subwoofer output ; the function buttons on the face are tiny and not illuminated; the FM antenna has a small 2 pin connector - and no way to connect a better antenna. But still, for the price, an excellent choice for a "blue tooth system", playing your vinyl, or a basic straight forward 2 channel sound system.

    I purchased this for my daughter. She is not an audiophile, however she does like streamed music from a two channel stereo. I typically will choose Sony before other brands, quality is usually pretty decent. I did set this receiver up for my daughter, it is a solid feeling unit and quite heavy for 100 watts, which tells me the power supply is fairly decent. Set up was quick, sound was pretty good for the price. Not made in ROC.
