Easy to set up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husban bought a stereo system 30 years ago when he was in the Army. I finally convinced him to upgrade the components. For the money this receive has been great for us. He has a 6 disc changer, TV, and 30 year old speakers hooked up to it. Everything is working and sounding fantastic. He had it set up in under 10 minutes.

Budget option but not much more
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Item is perhaps fine but I liked the sound of the Onkyo I settled on a bit better. When shopping in store, the lack of an optical in was not a concern. After hooking everything up, we decided we also wanted our TV sound to run through our stereo system which was my primary reason for returning. If you want both Bluetooth and a phono hookup on a tight budget, this may be your unit. Lacking other features which can be found for ~$50 more, I personally don't find this to be as much of a value.

Great for bluetoothing music to your BIG speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly the job I bought it for, and it does it well. I'm using it a a Bluetooth preamp for my Phase Linear 500 amp driving my legacy ESS AMT 2 Rock Monitors in my garage. (My wife won't allow them in the house). Now, I have crystal clear sound from punchy bass to feather light highs at any volume I like...

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice receiver for basic use . I only needed this for my backyard speakers . Bluetooth is a nice feature . The only reason I gave it 4 stars , I bought the floor model and the box said all components were in the box , well I get it home and the remote was missing . No biggy I ordered a replacement remote from the internet and it works fine .

Great Bluetooth receiver for streaming music.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful receiver for streaming music via Bluetooth or listing to FM radio stations. This was purchased for the sun room/back yard area where complicated surround sound settings aren’t needed. Receiver has A/B speaker control allowing you to listen to music in two different areas or both at the same time.

An outstanding starter stereo receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has most of the features I like with one glaring exception: I am used to a "loudness" or "contour" button or control, to give a gentle bass and treble boost at low volume; this unit lacks that. It also has a very odd FM antenna connector. Otherwise, it is an excellent stereo system for the money-plenty of power, features inputs, and a phono input! Very happy with purchase overall; the Bluetooth is a bonus I haven't tried yet. Heavy, well-made, seems quality!

Great receiver for the $$
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product features for the price. Excellent for what I wanted to use it for, but the volume controls on receiver are not very responsive. (Remote better for volume).

Good 100w power,but PURE DIRECT is not remembered
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good 100wpc power. But the SONY is lighter than my Denon amp with just 90wpc, so I had to turn the SONY's level up a bit to get the same decibels. The PURE DIRECT button has to be pressed each time, as SONY does not save this setting after a power cycle, unlike the Denon.

sony stereo receiver with bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid old style basic stereo receiver. And it has Bluetooth so it is easy to play music from phone or ipad. Bluetooth is only good, not great. When device gets too far away from receiver, music cuts out.

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.

I would recommend this to a friend Blue tooth and Phono amp 2-channel 100W receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good basic amp, bought just for turntable and bluetooth. One oddity in the first month- it 'forgot' the bluetooth pairings for both my phone and my wife's phone and got stuck on "pairing.... connecting". The receiver needed to be reset and reprogrammed (hold power for a few moments, fairly easy). I chose the least expensive model that would fit my needs because the last 2 SONY receivers I bought died a premature death (5.1 and 7.1 systems each $500+ when new). This one already showing an issue does not bode well for SONY in my opinion.
