      Hi Butch,

      That's very nice to hear! We're glad to hear that you're happy with your purchase. 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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    It looks so cool, and it isn't that heavy, either, it really ties my bookshelf set up together. The readout is a pleasing blue and there is definitely no factory odor or hot circuit smell when you fire it up. The knobs have a satisfying heft to them. Unfortunately the speakers I ordered with it have been delayed now for over a month, I'm beginning to think I will never know what the thing sounds like. Right now it operates as a very expensive night light, so awesome!

    This is the most versatile receiver I've ever owned. I can play ever device I own thru this product thanks to all the inputs and especially the Bluetooth capabilities. You have the ability to play sound thru just 2 speakers(A) or just thru 2 different speakers(B) or play all speakers(A+B) simultaneously.

    Works great. We first bought a different unit online elsewhere and had to return it because it did not work. Would not turn on. Luckily, this Sony receiver was available at a local Best Buy and I could pick it up the same day. The online ordering with store pick up worked flawlessly. The only thing it does not have is AM radio but this is not that important. And the price was right. We are very happy with the purchase and love the sound of our system.

    I bought this as I wanted to use a second system away from my main system. This is better then a second system and in fact might be the main system now, so much so that I am thinking of getting new turntable to go with it.
