      Hi JDBuckeye, Wow!Thank you for the 5-star review! We're very pleased to hear you appreciate the sound quality, easy Bluetooth pairing, and affordable price of the unit. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    The decision was between this Sony and the similar Yamaha. Using it to push content to outside speakers. Easy BT connection from outside, not sure the range but it does go through door(s)/concrete foundation to the table 20 feet away, Nice that it has the phono connection in case the current Insignia receiver in the study needs to be replaced.

    Great receiver for the money. It checked off all the boxes. I can play my old albums and cassettes and connect my phone and tablet by Bluetooth. Of course it's not some high end model with all the HDMI home theater stuff. I just needed an inexpensive really good sounding receiver. I paired it with some Klipsch Reference 5 1/4 340 watt speakers. I think they cost twice as much as the receiver.

    I purchased this Sony 2 channel Receiver to replace a 15 year old Sony. It is a great value considering all of the features you get for little dough! I got this because I needed a simple 2 channel receiver that offered A/B speaker control to supply sound inside and out. The bluetooth has a super range to connect to the tablet also. Another great Sony product!

    Gotta say I wasn't expecting much when I bought this, but I've been surprised in a good way. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it has the turntable hook-ups with the pre-amp and it sounds great. My vinyl has new life. I thought I was just going deaf, but it was my receiver that had bitten the dust.

    This is a decent 2.0 stereo amplifier. While this is a 2.0 receiver, I am using the RCA outputs to send signal to my subwoofer. This works great. If you need a no frill's amplifier this is it. I first used this in my garage only using chromecast. I since put more speakers in my garage. I know use this as a 2.1 system pushing tower speakers for my computer. Again, it does its job.

    Using it in my shop/garage. Replaced a 1980s high-end Sony receiver, RIP. It powers 2 Pevey towers...each has 2... 12" + 2... 10" + 4 tweeters...low distortion. Clean Sound even at max. The downside, bad FM reception with the supplied/cheap antenna wire with the funky plug,..no terminals to attach a real antenna. I'm old-school. Still have an early 70s, Sony Amp, Pre-Amp and Tuner in my studio powering 4 McIntosh speakers. So, in short, I'm happy.

    Great 2 channel stereo receiver. Very easy to set up and use. I love that Sony continues to utilize the A/B speakers in case you have 2 sets of speakers connected to the same source. I have the A speakers in my garage for working out and the B speakers on my deck. We can easily control the music from our phones while in either space without having to go to the receiver.
