    Nice clean sound at a real cheap price. No high power blaster, but when living in apartments can not do this. Paired up with a sent of Sony 6 ohm speakers this unit is a clean and just enough bass to be a comfort to listen to. I highly recommend SONY speakers for this unit because they seem to match better than other book shelf speakers I have tried.

      Hi 8225, Thank you for your purchase! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality and it works well with your vinyl record player. 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

    Great basic receiver unit for what I use it for. A/B or both switchable speaker output can send music to my outdoor speakers or just my indoor speakers or both. Bluetooth connection from my Samsung Galaxy s7edge is perfect. FM radio only no AM or satellite. Plenty of inputs for a basic stereo reciever at this price point, including a phonograph input should you have a turntable.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    A modest tuner/receiver that delivers exactly as advertised. I wanted a simple two channel pre-amp/amp with FM tuner to drive bookshelf speakers and also accept phono input, CD, and DVD sound. This does all that with acceptable performance at incredibly reasonable cost. The phono input is high-output moving coil and it works fine.
