      Hi Best Buy Customer,

      We appreciate the 5-star rating and we're happy to hear that you like the quality of the Sony AV receiver.

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! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    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.

    It was very easy to purchase the receiver. The sound is wonderful and it was easy to connect all of our accessories. My only complaint per se, was that there was very little stock available at the store.

    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.

    Very good for my situation - two sets of stereo speakers in family room and three season room - also airplay units are expensive but the Bluetooth works great especially since you can turn the unit on by simply connecting to Bluetooth with your device and play any source like pandora amazon Apple or whatever

    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!

    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.
