    I only needed a basic receiver, for bluetooth streaming, CD player, and ultimately, a turntable - and this device was perfect. Importantly, it was economically priced. Couldn't be happier.

      Hi Gordie, Awesome! We're glad to know that the receiver has everything you needed. Good to hear you like the inclusion of Bluetooth streaming, CD player, and turntable. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    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.

    Perfect for me. I either listen the radio or my own music. It has a FM tuner and Bluetooth. With several inputs for 'other' media. Simple to operate . Connected to a pair of PolK audio bookshelf speakers and the sound is spot on.

    Only had to connect the receiver to my phone once. Now each time I want to connect via Bluetooth all I have to do is turn the receiver on in the vicinity of my phone and it automatically connects every time. Super convenient.

    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.

    This thing can push some serious watts. I've heard receivers with twice the wattage sound weak and maxed well before it should. I don't get to really crank up to often but when I do, it rocks!
