    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.

    Bought a used receiver to listen to vinyl on a modern record player. Bit the dust after a few months, so I decided to go new. Great receiver; vinyl sounds great. Love being able to name the inputs on the display.

    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.

    Works great! I have a man cave with large 3 way speakers and a subwoofer and play concerts. The treble/bass control is nice on the remove. I added an equalizer to it for better sound still. Great value!

    Very good quality and excellent sound. Only thing that could make it better would be to have some light on front of receiver to help you see the controls. Especially on/off. I have mine in a cabinet and it is very difficult to find / see.

    Great alternative if you want to still be able to hookup subwoofers for bass. Definitely a better more modern style versus the older outdated ones with no Bluetooth capabilities.
