Great value
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. It’s a low end model that doesn’t have a ton of features, but I wasn’t looking for the world with this unit. I needed only two channels with Bluetooth for a patio system. Works as it should! I’d recommend to others.

Posted .Hi Tank,
Great! We're glad that the 2-channel function of the receiver is perfect for your needs. 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!

Sony - 2.0-Ch. Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading all the reviews, I decided this sounded like it would be a good receiver for what I needed to hook-up my CD player and turntable. Right out of the box, the display would not work. We googled the receiver and found some other reviews with the same issue. I was very disappointed. I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to nearest Best Buy to return the item. I had no issues returning it, and ordered a replacement to be shipped to my home. BB did not have one in stock. I hooked up the 2nd receiver, and the display is working. The instructions seemed pretty straight forward. I have 1 pair speakers hooked up, and it looks like it will take another pair. I'm able to play CD's. Have not tried turntable yet. Having some issues picking up FM radio, but I think that's the reception out here in the country. Now that I have a receiver that works, I'm hoping Sony will live up to it's positive reviews.

Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bluetooth feature is great. Paired my iPod and instantly worked - switch my playlist no problem. Other great features, too. The only thing I don't like is not being able to easily read the button labels. Everything Sony makes now is black and hard to see any buttons, labels, etc. Other than that it's really nice.

Just what the doctor ordered.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a receiver that had a phono connection. It fit the bill very well . There are not very many receivers that you can get to connect a turntable to any more and not pay an arm and a leg for it. Got a hundred watts per channel and at a low price.

Sony 2 channel receiver good value
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this so I could play records in my man cave. It works well hooked up to a couple of Bose book shelf speakers. Not an audiophile, but, I did think about purchasing a vintage unit...but, in the end, I wanted bluetooth so I went with the Sony - glad I did.

Pay more for less...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, serves its purpose I wanted it to. The negative aspect was the antenna connection with the small flimsy wire, I needed to hook up to an exterior antenna to pickup a local station with a weak signal which required directional type that I custom built. The programming of stations was a bit vague but I got it taken care of at the moment. Sound quality was good and the remote eliminates the need to have to reach the location where it sits. I had to return the first receiver I bought, it also had a remote but what good is a remote if you can't turn the unit on as it had no power on button. I don't know what the thinking was when that unit was designed. I had to spend more money on the second one to get a remote with a power button and it was also a 2-channel and not 4-channel like the first. $65 more for less features....You should have more selections available in store

Best budget Amp!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the best budget amps you can buy! I absolutely love the “pure direct” feature for cleaner, richer and deeper tones. What really is neat is being able to connect 4 speakers and use them all at the same time. This Sony CRANKS!

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this purchase. My daughter has started collecting used vinyls from the 60's and 70's and they sound so good. We bought this Sony Receiver, a pair of Sony bookshelf Speakers and a Sony Turntable. Excellent combination.

Very nice introductory stereo receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Sony Stereo Receiver is hooked up to my record player. I've had these records for years, and haven't listened to them, but due to the stay at home order, my wife and I revitalized our basement with a bar and a sound system. The set up was easy and we can listen to records and Spotify from my phone. Great sound quality for the price.

Great 2 Channel Amp/Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This produces great sound and plenty of power for my two ceiling speakers. The Bluetooth range is incredible. I was all the way upstairs and outside probably 40 feet away through floors and walls and it was still connected and playing.

Great receiver for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver to hook up to my TV. I got tired of sound bars and peripheral speakers and went back to a 2 channel unit. It may not have all the ambiance of of the multi-channel units but it sounds great in my family room. The only minus is the lack of an optical input.
