    I’ve had a Sony Receiver Surround Sound amp for years and years (it finally died of a lightning strike). But this new model is awesome. Sony has improved the setup menu (its still a little cryptic) and I was able to get great sound in minutes!

    I like Sony products because of the excellent customer support. This AV tuner works great. I have Bose Acoustimas stereo speakers that sort of work on this device but not as well as they did on my old pre-HDMI tuner. I needed HDMI ports, as most of us do, so will have to upgrade the speakers someday, sigh.

    Good for a simple setup; not to many options to change. Set it up and forget. I have connected to the TV to ARC so that it start always and sound is managed through this system.

    Great sound and ease of use. Hook-up and setup were a breeze. Great sound after going through the programming progress for the 5.1 system. Great replacement after my old pioneer receiver stopped working. I would definitely buy it again.

    I don't do anything fancy with receivers and I won't pass HDMI through one unless it's something like a Nintendo Switch, but if you're just needing an affordable TV receiver to power your big speakers, this works excellently and is fairly seamless.

    Thus far I am pleased with my Sony receiver! The Tech support was superb when I was setting it up. When we got disconnected they called me back immediately. The overall experience was great! The sound coming from the receiver sounds like I am at the movie theater, yet I am home! Great, great, great!!!

    Bought this to replace old Marantz amplifier reciever. Works well with existing speaker layout. Haven't used it as a pass through for complete home theater set-up, only surround sound, CD, and radio tuner. Bluetooth function is a convenient addition. Once paired, I can activate and stream from my phone without having to find remote and select input option.

    Bought this to replace an aging Sony receiver. I couldn’t be happier. Without replacing the speakers, my sound has completely changed. The calibration microphone is easy and incredibly effective. Simply hold it where you plan to listen and the receiver will optimize your settings. It even wakes the tv when the input device (cable box, Apple TV) is turned on. Great find!!

    Really nice receiver. I love the Bluetooth function since most of my music the music streaming services are on my phone. Used this receiver for my Bose Acoustimass 10 system and it does very well in my home theater. It even has the ability to be turned on by the Bluetooth function, something I never knew existed. Kinda lime a power over ethernet service.

    Purchased to replace a Sony A/V receiver that no longer works. Intuitive setup, functions perfectly, automatically detects my Sony TV and switches to external speakers. Only issue, the remote does not control an older Sony BluRay player.

      Hi RickInReno,

      Thank you for the review. It's unfortunate that your old AV receiver no longer works. We're glad to hear you like the easy set up and smart features of the unit. If the Blu-ray player is connected via HDMI cable. Turn on the Bravia sync on both AV receiver and Blu-ray.

      If you need assistance, you can contact our product support.

    In upgrading our home theater the receiver that we had was not very compatible with our TV and DVR, issues with syncing the systems. Decided to try and stay with the same brand for compatibility. Only short fall is this receiver does no have the capability to add a couple additional speakers. I like to pipe music into my basement when I am working at in my basement shop. Everything else is working very well.
