It works well with my tech wood studio speakers and when I bluetooth it to my tv movies and music always sounds great

This thing puts out good amounts of power (I'm running it in only a 3.1 configuration, so it has spare capacity), and runs cool, which I really like. The Onkyo TX-SR607 it replaced ran so hot -- all the time -- that I actually kept a laptop cooler fan on top of it because I was worried it was going to die if I didn't. The Bluetooth pairing is hassle-free, as is the auto-calibration. This thing looks good and is easy to use (much more intuitive than my Onkyo was).

Easy connection instructions. Easy setup. I followed the instructions and turned on the power and TV. From there I follwed the instructions shown on TV and was able set up the five speakers plus subwoofer instantly! Then played around with remote to find sound setting that I wanted. This set-up allows me to use my Cable remote without even having to program the cable remote. A step I've always had to do with previous receivers. Puts out more than enough sound. And for my hard of hearing ears, that's plenty!

I was in the market for a new receiver that would pass HDR after I upgraded to a Samsung 65q80t television. My local store was out of the similar Onkyo one so I chose this particular model. So far I'm very happy. Setup was very simple and fast. Sound is good and I like the fast input switching. Everything pairs with my DirecTv remote. I paid 279 and it immediately dropped to 199 less than a week later. Best Buy is supposed to be price adjusting. They were very easy to work with.

I've used this device for a few weeks now and it works exactly like I hoped it would. The setup was quite easy and with the different audio output settings it will definitely give you what you want. I'm currently using this to power two front speakers and the front surround is very good. I was going to try to use a center and two fronts but it wasn't really able to run those effectively without surround speakers so the audio level was too low. That's really the only con I've come up with so far.

Bluetooth, easy on screen setup, and lots of power. Just don't have a bright light by the remote sensor, will cause problems with the remote.

I am very impressed with the audio quality and connectivity of this receiver. I replaced an older Onkyo unit which had great audio capabilities but lacked modern HDMI and Bluetooth inputs. It took me a few minutes with the manual to enable the subwoofer / 3.1 speaker pattern, as the process for doing so is not intuitive, but apart from that setup was a breeze. Unit is very user friendly once set up. Output depends upon speakers, of course, but power is more than adequate for a residential application.

What a great experience! The Geek Squad ( Duncan and Salvador ) worked as a team in setting up our new Sony Receiver. Wow! The sound is awesome with our surround sound. Both Duncan and Salvador were punctual and very thorough on helping us understand the unit. They truly wanted us to have the best experience with our new toy! They were very respectful, knowledgeable and kind to us. We will continue to do business with Best Buy when the customer service is top notch…. Like us was for us!

Enjoying the Sony 725W 5.2-Ch Hi-Res 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Receiver. We recently purchased a Sony 4K Bravia TV and a 4K Blue Ray player from Best Buy and wanted the 4K receiver to keep everything up at 4K. I like the way the TV and Receiver work together when selecting a streamed program or a Blue Ray disk. A simple one button press turns both the TV and the Receiver on and makes the necessary connections and audio playback selections.

a must for any home theatre system! a staple in my a/v business, easy to install and program.

I bought the Sony725W 5.2 channel A/V receiver to use with Bose speakers. I was pleased by the power the amplifier delivers and the clarity of the sound it produces. Inputs i use are xFiniti’s streaming box, a DVD player that I also use to play CDs and a TV. The choices of sound environment the receiver provides, stadium, concert hall, jazz club, etc., make it easy to match the sound effect to the music or video you are playing, although there is a momentary silence as it switches modes making it a little harder to compare them.

4.5 overall rating. Sounds great with a 5.1 system. Easy to sue and set up. Love watching action movies using it. Voices can be a little hard to hear sometimes on the center speaker but I'm assuming there's an adjustment somewhere we can make to fix this.

Great product. Easy to use. I like that it automatically changes the settings based on what you are hearing. I don’t know if it’s because I have a Sony Tv as well.

Just what I needed to run my smart tv & turntable. Easy to set up & use.

I needed a receiver that had bluetooth for outdoor speakers and also for use with an outdoor projector. Great sound and easy to set up.

onfiguration: Receiver Sony finally got it right. An awesome affordable receiver with 4K and HDR pass-through. All HDMI inputs are 2.2 compliant. Easy Set Up. Nice Power at 145W per channel. Have it hooked up to a couple BIC tower speakers and a Dayton Subwoofer - will expand to 5.1 soon (or 5.2 ). But no rush - has a Front Surround feature that really does make 2.1 sound like real surround. As long as this thing lasts - and it's heavy and built like a tank so it should - I couldn't be more happy with my purchase.

Pros- Ease of use, Price , Setup, Features, Great starter receiver!! Cons- Spring clips for center and surround speakers

Excellent entry level 5.2 Ch receiver! Plenty of power and clean sound if all you need is basic 5.1 or even just 2.1 with virtual surround capability. Also lots of ways to customize the sound field for movies or music. A great value!

Solid system for a bedroom or mid to small room but lacks functions of more expensive units. It does the job and has enough power but you can't dial in the speakers very much compared to some others. I find myself frustrated with speaker calibration often. There is some light adjustment but it's just the frequency and decibel level. There's also no option for different settings to switch between such as movies, games, or music. You have to manually go through menus and change each individual setting each time to get quality sound. There isn't like a selectable preset you can program and switch between. Auto calibration is really bad too. It sounded like an elevator speaker system and had to completely change every speaker setting after calibration. This system replaced an older Yamaha unit that failed after 12yrs but had better sound with lower power output and much better adjustability. Mostly disappointed in this one but it works well enough as a bedroom unit. If you just want surround sound and tweak it a lot on setup you'll be fine. If you want easy adjustability between sound inputs (movie, music, games, etc), you'll be disappointed having to manually change every speaker every time or living with one setting that does not fit all. Next time I'll go to a higher end unit.

This is my second Sony Receiver. 1st one is in the garage and rocks. Decided to get another one to power Klipsche 5.1 Theatre Pack. Very happy with power and features. You can’t go wrong with this receiver. If I had any complaints on this it would be the speaker wire connections in the back. I am using 14 gauge wire and it is a tight fit in the push thru connectors in the back. But you will see this in every receiver at this price point.
