    Loving this Receiver

    The first one I bought had an issue but BestBuy replaced it and that's when I really got to see the benefits of this receiver. It did exactly what I wanted, the Bluetooth functionality is a big plus and I really needed it for the phono capability. The sound is great (sony quality) and the price point cannot be better. I do wish there was a bass output but I ended up making it work the best I could. Overall for the price, brand, and sound I would definitely recommend.

    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.

    I am glad I bought this receiver. It puts out enough sound to satisfy a middle ager but most likely not the simulation CPR machine a younger person is looking for. I went old school with my hookups—turntable, cd player. Still on the hunt for a cassette player. My one grouse is that I am adjusting the bass and treble with virtually everything I play. A variety of standard equalizer selections would have been a nicer option.

    Im slowly building up my record players sound environment. This works excellent with my 40byear old record player. It was my first choice because its a simple 2 channel and designed for record players and it sounds great with my new Klipsch speakers.

      Hi Quinnie, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're very happy to hear it works perfectly with your record player and speakers. Good to know also that you like the amazing sound quality and features 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! Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    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!

    This is a great receiver for basic use. I bought it for 2 reasons. One is that it is Bluetooth capable so I can stream SiriusXM and other apps. The other reason is that it has the ability to operate 2 sets of speakers. I have one set mounted on the back of my house so I can play music while hosting a backyard cookout or just enjoy while grilling my own dinner. The other set of speakers is mounted in my garage so I can listen when working in my shop area.

    Had this for a couple of weeks. Needed a quick replacement for a vintage amp that was going wonky. This is just the ticket if you need an inexpensive stereo amp with a phono input. Ordered online at about 8 PM, picked it up with curbside service at around 8:50. Was listening to music by 9:30. A flawless transaction.

    Sony to replace a 30 year old Yamaha

    Four stars because of the black finish. Grey metallic would have been preferable and easier to read the button lettering. Classical music sounds great through my old trusty Bose loudspeakers. There is some heat build-up underneath, but the manual explains - it's normal. This Sony Receiver replaces Yamaha tuner, amplifier, tape player, 5CD player stack that was purchased at Circuit City 30 years ago!

    Great quality receiver with easy speaker connection and a wide choice of inputs. The phono input works great for my turntable and the standard inputs work great for my CD player. The Bluetooth connection works well but has a bit of an annoying delay when I'm trying to stream movie sound through it from my computer. It's perfect for music though. It would be nice if it had a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio output. It only has what I believe is a 6.35mm size.
