    I love this A/V Home Theater Receiver. We had a quote from someone after building the new house. Wiring was pre-speaker and I was concerned about doing it myself. But this was simple and sounds great. The quote included a Yamaha. But we love Sony and I compared the two models and chose this one instead. Everything we have except for the Jammo 8' woofer is Sony, and it didn't disappoint.

    I bought this receiver to use with my Sony Google television in a small home theater setup. It works perfectly with minimal configuration. One remote operation. It turns on and off automatically with the tv and volume is controlled by the tv remote. This was an open box item in excellent condition. Very satisfied.

    For an entry level amp it delivers far more than the price would suggest. The setting options are at first daunting and then become crystal clear, sensible, and enjoyable to manipulate. There is a plethora of listening choices for various imputs and accomodates with its many HDMI imputs a host of devices,

    Works good. Sounds good with the speakers I bought. Not impressed with how best buy shipped to my house. Had I not been home when the package showed up I would have had a box sitting outside advertising what it was. They sent in manufacturers box not some Nondescript box. Again I am glad I was home when it showed or who know what porch pirate may have ended up with it.

    I upgraded from a mid-1990s Kenwood receiver. It still works great, but it doesn't have HDMI passthrough, and my Samsung smart TV only has two HDMI ports and I was tired of switching out inputs. My favorite part about upgrading to something 20 years newer is the automatic setup with the included calibration mic. My speakers have never sounded better! Excellent mid-range option, fulfills my need for a simple 5.2 surround sound experience.
