Excellent Budget Receiver.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this receiver specifically for its phono input. I am using it with an audio Technica turntable and it works excellent. For the price you can not beat it!!! I am also using the Sony speakers which go for 150.00 also. Definitely recommend!!!
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent Value for Music Lovers !!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The demand for 2 channel receivers is probably quite low these days with numerous home theater options offering 7 or more channels . I personally have a quite nice home theater with a Samsung 4K curved TV, 5 top of the line Definitive Technology speakers , and a high end Denon Receiver and sub. I bought this receiver for my mom who just wants to listen to music , and this unit Really does the job . Extremely easy set up and use, Mom didn’t know it was possible to wirelessly stream music from her iPhone , and this basic Sony receiver fills the entire first floor with crystal clear music . This has to be the best bang for the buck piece of electronic equipment I’ve ever purchased . For about $100 I’m a hero in moms eyes !! If you want to listen to music without the need to have a home theater set up, you could seriously consider this product !!

Overall, pretty good Stereo for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Stereo Receiver, the volume nob is a little tight, it could be easier to turn, and the FM antenna is about as flimsy as you can get.

Good Stereo Receiver for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for what we needed it for. My wife needed some tunes while working out. Old receiver (20 years old) finally died. Plays music through her I-phone via the built in Bluetooth connection. works perfectly. Even turns it all on and adjust the volume by her phone.

Great reciever with good features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent power and features. I needed an old school receiver with radio and phono inputs yet adding Bluetooth and this is one of few that has all of that. The radio receiver is not super strong though and does not pick up well but I may expand the antenna to see if that helps. Plenty of power.

For the price, it does what it should
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not a huge audiophile, but I wanted some speakers on my back patio for listening to music or the occasional outdoor movie night. I wasn't looking for anything fancy and didn't want to break the bank, but I did want 2 different zones. This receiver does its job -- nothing more and nothing less. I have a chromecast audio hooked up to it currently and that combination works really well. The remote is pretty much useless -- you have to be pretty much right in front of the unit and in a straight line to it -- I tried it through an open window and was only maybe 20' away, but at an angle and it didn't work. Otherwise, for my needs, its good enough. I'm adding garage speakers for my 2nd zone so that will be nice too.
