Posted .Hi deadheadmike,
Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the 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!

Great 2 Channel Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new receiver for my back patio TV to power the in-ceiling speakers. Wanted something with some power, bluetooth, and good sound. More powerful than several of the others at this price point, bluetooth connects easily, and it sounds great. Would buy it again.

Sony is the best!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to work with...I have 30 year old Pioneer and Kenwood electronics and I am proud to say my new Sony Receiver are compatible with all of them. I had no problem hooking them all to the receiver. Instructions easy. Great sound I must add! I just bought a new Sony bluetooth too! I'll review that next time.

Good unit for garage tunes, poor volume control
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit for garage tunes. The volume dial feels rather wonky when spun by hand as many have reported. Blue tooth connection and automatic turn on of unit from I-phone is very nice feature! Unfortunately, the volume control from the I-phone is limited at "50" maximum on the dial display which is ok for casual listening but not cranking to rock out. Poor design by limiting remote volume management to some arbitrary mid-level value.

Conventional Stereo Receiver with Many Features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Conventional Stereo receiver which includes a very sensitive FM tuner and accepts bluetooth, phonograph, and 4 additional inputs. Quality sound when matched with my Polk speakers. Full function remote control that is easy to use. The largest deficiency is its lack of an ethernet or WIFI interface. Note that this receiver is a 2.0 receiver and should not be compared to larger 5.1, 7.1, etc. systems.

Good Performance, Low Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was replacing a Sony receiver that was having issues after several decades. I chose this one because of the good experience I had with my older unit, and because of the reasonable price. It seems to provide quality sound. The two downsides from my perspective: (1) it has only FM, no AM; (2) the all-black front looks sleek, I guess, but it is very difficult to see the controls and buttons in low or dim light.

Sometimes all you need is a great stereo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I simply needed a stereo to drive my exterior patio speakers and 2 built-in kitchen speakers. This works great. I like that I can have a CD changer hard connected as well as drive the music via Bluetooth from my Ipad.

Great Stereo Receiver With a Phonograph Hookup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver was the perfect choice for my stereo system. After my other receiver quit working many years ago, this was nice to have my record player connect to it and have it operating again. The added Bluetooth feature works great in allowing me to connect my phone and play other music I have saved to my phone. The price was right too!

Worth checking out!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have not had luck with amplifiers lately. This one had great reviews so I purchased it. So far I really like it. No real complaints for the amp. I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch RF-7s. So far the amp has performed well. After the amp warms up and I find the sweet spot on the volume I turn pure direct on and it sounds great. I don’t believe you’ll find a comparable amp at this price point.
