    I bought this following some on-line research for the primary purpose of supporting my old turntable. It does that well, easy hookup with RCA plugs and a ground wire. Worth the price so far.

      Hi NotTechieatAll, That's amazing! Good to hear it works perfectly with your CD changer and you're enjoying the Bluetooth function. 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

    A Good Receiver at a Great Price

    This receiver is a great choice for a simple 2 channel receiver with great connection options. The bluetooth works great and so does the "portable in" to connect devices without bluetooth such as a phone or a TV. I use an optical sound adapter to connect my 65" TV to the receiver. If your TV has a 3.5 mm headphone jack you can connect your TV to the receiver without the adapter. My turntable was easy to connect with the specific connections for that purpose. The only small negative is a lack of the more "advanced" connections like no USB connection and no HDMI connection. I only paid $110 for this open box deal and I really couldn't be more happy.
