      Hi Allen, thank you for fantastic review! We're glad you like the overall features and great sound quality of your new 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! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Great unit. I was looking for a radio with selectable speaker channels to use in a Pool Shack for running both indoor and outdoor speakers. A & B channels allows you to select one or the other or both at the same time. Bluetooth works very well and connects fast and easy. No complaints, would definitely purchase again. Very sleek looking and well built.

    A Perfect Receiver/Tuner for the Price

    I had to recently replace my 30 year old tuner/receiver and was looking for a component that was inexpensive but offered a tuner, Bluetooth and capacity to operate a CD player. The Sony is perfect with simple to use controls and sufficient to run my 2 Bose speakers. Zero distortion and a small size fitting well into my modular unit. A great buy if you’re looking for a straight forward product.

    nice stereo I thought it would lower the power when 4 speakers were hooked up but it did not sounds great I made it sound even better with a 4 band equalizer and a subwoofer the DB gain made it so you dont even have to turn it up half way to sound loud and clean,love it,used 12 volt 30 amp power supply for equalizer and subwoofer

    For the money this seems to be an excellent receiver. Minimal controls on the unit itself but the remote more than makes up for it. Nice to be able to run my turntable through it as well.

    Unit is easy to use with out all the bells and whistles. The volume level seems weak when listening to radio. I have to set it pretty high for minimal volume. That said, a much younger more technology wise person blue toothed their phone to it and the level was much better. I am comparing this to a 30 year old Pioneer unit that crapped out. All in all its an acceptable unit for the price.

    Great receiver for the price. We moved recently and had an extra set of Klipsch speakers. I purchased this receiver so I could use them in the garage. Always love Sony products. Great sound from the FM radio and I can pair my tablet to listen Pandora etc. Perfect for when I am working in the garage or yard. Also great for social distance driveway small gatherings.
