    I purchased the receiver to use with my turntable since i didn't buy powered speakers. Works well with the turntable and speakers. My setup is pretty much an entry level system, didn't want to break the bank to listen to vinyl again, the vinyl will be expensive enough.

      Hi Roosted2, Great! We're very happy to hear it works perfectly with your turntable and speakers. 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. -Sam Sony_US

    If you need a simple 2 channel receiver for a pair of speakers AND don't need video, this will get the job done. It did for me ... except I started to want video too for the rare occasion... Other than that, good solid basic quality.

    Our compact combo receiver CD player stopped working and shopping for a replacement had few combination components available. My older unused CD player nicely combined with the Sony 2.0 and works great with the good quality speakers from the original combo.

    Got this as a receiver for our bedroom because we have 2 speakers in there and then use the 2nd group of speakers (A & B speaker options) to play music in the bathroom. It’s not a top end system with bells and whistles, but it has a nice sound quality playing at lower volumes (that’s what we use in those two rooms).

    No complains it does it’s job and provides quality sound to the ceiling speakers in my home. It doesn’t blow you away like if you added an amp to every room but if you want something that works and does it’s job for the price you won’t get better than this.
