    Gets the job done. I love the bluetooth feature. My home is about 7000 square feet and I can be anywhere but near this unit and it stays connected to my phone when I'm steaming music. Great product.

    Simple amp with enough inputs to do everything I want to do. I have two 45 year old speakers (A) and two 30 year old speakers (B). This amp will drive both sets at the same time (A+B) and give a beautiful sound.

      Hi Billd, That's great! We're thrilled to hear it works perfectly with your 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! -Sam Sony_US

    This Sony stereo receiver with bluetooth replaced our almost 50- year-old original wood case Sony receiver. It works well with our CD player, tape player, record player and phone music. It was a super buy and brings back great memories!

    Easy to use, works well with Bluetooth connections from my smart phone. Two concerns: There is a delay of about five seconds before the sound begins, and the volume knob moves in timy increments. Set up was easy. Price is very reasonable.

      Hi Quill, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! Good to know you like the ease of use, easy Bluetooth pairing, and reasonable price of your new receiver. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the audio delay. Can you tell us what source are you referring to? If it is from a Bluetooth device, the audio playback on this receiver may be
      delayed from that on the BLUETOOTH device
      because of the characteristics of the
      BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

      For volume control issues and if the delay is coming from a different source, please contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US for further assistance.

    Good: - You can rename the 30 FM presets with up to 8 characters if you're not the type who remembers numbers. - You can also do this for the general purpose inputs. - Handles speaker impedances 6 to 16+ ohms. - Bluetooth pairing is easiest I've ever dealt with. Weird: - No number keypad on remote, but first three FM presets each have a button. All the rest are accessed by +/- steps, also available on front panel. - Bass and treble adjustment on remote only. Needs improvement: - FM antenna is about 1.5 meters of wire connected by micro plug/socket of the sort I expect to see on circuit boards. So far it works, but I live in a dense urban area. - I suppose there is no optical input, because that's reserved for pricier models.

    There was nothing wrong with the tiner/ receiver. What I had at home like the speakers and turntables didnt do the Sony justice. I needed better speakers to getvfull capacity of the sound. I will look for the next level of Sony Speakers and Tuner/ receivers.
