Best for the buck.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receivers or the price. The receiver doesn’t have many inputs for a home theater set up, it does have Bluetooth function and phone input for a turn table. When matched with a set of floor speakers, a complete simple system can be achieved with this receiver.

Good stereo only receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a stereo only receiver for my garage/shop. Using for stereo music in the the shop and with outdoor speakers. Does well pushing my old Klipsch K4's as well as the Kicker outdoor speakers. Bluetooth has good range as I can control it from outside the garage with all doors to garage closed at about 50-60 feet.

Good simple stereo receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm at the age where I like things uncomplicated. This unit fit the bill for me. It is well built and looks good any place you put it. If you're looking for something to blow all the windows in the house this is not the one for you. It has a good range of sound that is crisp and clear.

Very satisfied
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to buy an inexpensive receiver with a remote control for my TV audio. I have a couple of really old very high quality speakers (15" bi-axial Altec-Lansing). This amp powers them amply and the TV audio is great (further enhanced with a new Polk sub-woofer). I'm very pleased with the product's performance.

Top notch replacement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought about getting a hi-fi set up for my living room but opted for this instead. I don't have a crazy speaker set up and this little beauty does the trick. Bluetooth will connect it to anything too, so I can spin some wax, rock a CD, or play whatever from my phone.

Retro to the 50's and 60's
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver. Hooked up two speakers and use it to play my 33 1/3 LP albums and my 45 rpm records. Excellent stereo sound. Takes me back to the 50's and early 60's when I was in high school and college. What a great time to live!

Sony Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little unit works well. Blue tooth connection with my iphone is flawless. For the price it fit my needs. The majority of the time it is being used it plays FM music for the dog. I did hook up my turntable and CD player and that is a snap.

Great for an ad hoc streaming media system
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a Sharp Roku TV and added it to his to make a streaming media system for my dad that was easy and could do Spotify, Roku, Amazon Music and such for his home audio system. I worried that the impedance was too low, but it had no problem. I functions well at impedance much lower than specified.

Good reciever/Amp for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good unit. It is well built and looks sleek. The sound is full and warm. I have it running into a couple of Polk Audio speakers. There is sonic detail and decent imaging. The only thing I did not like was that the tone controls are only accessible on the remote. I like more control over my sound than that. Otherwise, I am quite pleased.

Should've Called Geek Squad Sooner
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this receiver to replace a far older model also by Sony, after suffering through continual sound problems of extreme static, and sound lost with almost every other word. One of us watches with a headset plugged into the front and the other without a headset, so we required a means to achieve that. After connecting our multi CD player, DVD Player and TV, he suggested a headset splitter to be able to duplicate what we had, and told us how to install it. After purchasing one, we did as he said, and it's working perfectly.

Great Puchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver so I could hook up a Sony turntable that had been sitting in the closet since 2015. I am so glad I did. This has enabled me to be able to play albums I have collected since the 1970’s. I am thoroughly pleased and it is easy to operate.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For any piece of electronics, like this, at Under $200.00; you’re either buying a circular saw or a Bluetooth speaker. Yes, they had to sell it AT a profit to stay in business But they wanted to prove that technology has something good for anyones budget. This IS only a “Stereo” receiver (not 9 or more channels) and has only 100 watts per channel, with them Both running @ the same time; with a very good FM tuner/radio; plus some on board digital processing and includes a name brand to back it up for two years....I know of no other that comes with this and IS well built, solid features, good looking and affordable as this is...I forgot, this has a phono preamp (for using a Turntable/for vinyl records) Who said it’s an entry level component? I’ve shopped to only to find out that I would pay 2-3 Times the price of this one, to only gain few useful features at $400-500! I thought if this is the case, On the technical and practical side, only your application for this could be of question. For some outrageous reason/issue, it doesn’t works out, there are many other places this will just make you smile, for a very long time. Bust Buy is your Value and cost leader (So Don’t get lost) P.M.L.
