    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.

      Hi Xa34gQzN, That's amazing! We're very happy to hear it works great with your subwoofer. 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

    I didn’t need all these fancy hookups, just a good basic receiver to hook up a cassette deck CD, turn table, but it was a bonus getting the Bluetooth to play tunes from my phone. Simple to hook up too. Worth every penny. Glad they still make affordable equipment for us simple people.

    Not as powerful as my vintage equipment I have to replace, but still good enough for my current needs. Bluetooth is easy set up and a strong connection. Haven't set up the turntable yet. I bought 2 for 2 different locations. For the price, looks like you can't go wrong.

    Stereo receivers are hard to get. Most are offered as 5 and 7 theater systems so this is already a good deal. I've looked at some other stereos and they cost twice as much as this Sony. They may be worth that price, but I very satisfied with what I bought. I also bought pair of compatible Sony speakers, and delivery of these items was problem free (except for a winter snow storm that created a problem fo everybody).

    A perfect 2ch receiver. No frills, just R and L speaker output and B speaker output for second set of speakers. Smart tv can connect with Bluetooth-no digital optical input. Included fm antenna is adequate but connector is proprietary. Easy to add to the antenna if needed. Very pleased.
