Customer Ratings & Reviews

I replaced a much older receiver with this new one. The features I wanted included Bluetooth and surround. It has plenty of power for my good sized living room and we stream from Bluetooth devices, mostly phones, and of course surround sound for tv and movies. Great product at a great price.

overall good value and easy to set up. A little light on options compared to other models however Sony has a fine reputation

This receiver is great! It has all the features I need, and every HDMI port is 4k compatible. The sound and the video are GREAT! Setup was easy, but then I have a little background with this stuff. NOTE: As with any receiver, you'll have to enter the setup menu and chose "enhanced" for the HDMI ports if you want them to support 4k resolution.

Sounds great with my Acoustic Research (5) Surround Speakers and Subwoofer. I have 4K Samsung and you must hook to HDMI TV output; set all your inputs (up to 4 HDMI) through the receiver and select source through the remote. I wanted to set like my old receiver with optical out from the TV to the receiver, but can not do it with this 4k set up. Easy set up tells you where your SubWoofer levels should be set and then auto tunes the sound to your listening spot with provided mic & cable. Sounds fantastic and auto tune is very accurate; then blast it as loud as you want with great sound. TV recognizes device and TV also still auto adjusts to game mode when my PS4 is selected. The one issue I have is that I wish you could select to not show the volume change on the TV screen (sometimes you need to change for movies when the sound varies and I would rather not see the volume going up or down on the TV screen). Also easy Bluetooth pairing to my android cell for music. All in all…highly recommend and very satisfied for quality & price. Best Buy delivered free and I had it in less than 24 hours!

I just replaced my old Denon that went down with this model. First of all the price was great getting it on sale. Installation was so simple and within minutes, we were putting it through it's paces. The set up was simple and the calibration microphone did a great job of calibrating our speakers. The interface to manually adjust or to use different modes is straight forward and easy to use. This a/v receiver drives my Bose Accoustimass system better than my old and more expensive Denon did. It's got enough bells and whistles for me to take advantage of while keeping it simple and easy to operate for my wife who isn't so techy. Great value.

The Sony receiver is great for TV volume, bypassing my buzzing TV speakers. I had tried soundbars but had to return them as the sound was quite inadequate - not so with this Sony receiver. I recommend it highly.

Great product! Very easy to setup. Plenty of power for my existing speakers. Subwoofer must be powered in order to use this system. Definitely recommend this product.

Sony made a good product. It was a replacement for an older product purchased in 2001. The 5.2 channel surround output was perfect for my speaker setup. I discovered the bluetooth settings a month after purchase. I connected to my phone, played my iTunes and it worked. Easy set up .

I bought this to replace a seventeen year old Insignia receiver so I'd get HDMI ARC connectivity and Bluetooth. The first pleasant experience was I ordered in on a Friday, for Sunday delivery and on Saturday I got an email saying it would be delivered that day, which it was. I followed the setup instructions, connecting five speakers and two Sony sub woofers I had recently bought. Setup was super easy. Ran through the various functions and it all worked well right out of the box. All in all I'm very pleased. I'd highly RECOMMEND this item.

A lot of nice features. Bought this for a patio projector screen system. Price was definitely the deciding factor. It comes with all the features you would except in a surround sound receiver. The only thing it is lacking that I wish it had is a second zone, other that that I am very happy with this purchase.

I started out just stereo but this gem got my attention . Price was far and now I can have theater… Mores speakers more power etc… I have had it almost none stop at all ranges of sound. Crisp . Clean and easy to operate. Plus it’s real loud.. Till the neighbors downstairs started hitting the ceiling below my feet… So I turned it down and he came running up telling me turn it back up but more! Not all tenants are created equal. Got to love freedom of speech. Nice job Sony and Best Buy is the last great store out there. Customer service is perfect, very knowledgeable and very happy people… I keep buying stuff cause of that and the warranty!!! I will be a lifetime customer to Best Buy…

Good sound. Easy to connect. Doesn’t have a ground if you’re thinking of connecting it to a record player that needs one. Had to buy a rca amp with ground to connect my record player. Good for the price when on sale.

I've always loved Sony receivers and this is a solid and dependable little powerhouse. I listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of 1080p and UHD discs and the sound and video that go through this come out sounding and looking pure and full. Research anything before you buy- this receiver is well regarded and has the right number of HDMI and speaker inputs for my modest but powerful 5.1 blu-ray/UHD set-up. I couldn't be happier. Caveats: If Atmos is your jam, this can't do that. It doesn't have wireless technology. The troubleshooting you can do with AV sync is extremely limited and sync can be an issue if you're running all kinds of inputs in and out of your set-up. I literally only have a UHD player, 5.1 speakers, and I use the tv for all streaming apps, so this is the right fit for me.

This system is perfect for your home theater needs. I strongly suggest getting two sony subwoofers to even out the bass distribution. Youll have to tweak the crossover and db level after the auto calibration, but after that, its just like sitting in the theater.

Top quality and easy to set up, works as described. Replaced the Denon I purchased with this and have not regretted at all. Sound quality is quite amazing. Bluetooth connectivity is a breeze. Excellent sony. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a receiver that is easy to set up.

Does what I need to be: enhance sound quality to epic levels as I watch movies or play my games!!! No buyers remorse here! Yes!!!!!!

I have had a full surround system before and the full surround is OK but not really my favorite way to watch movies or listen to music. I use a system with two tower speakers, a sub, and a high quality center channel speaker. When shopping for a receiver all I needed was something to drive those speakers and this receiver does that and for a reasonable price. The system is much better than the pioneer it replaced because it is much easier to choose the sound settings you want and you can view and select your sound choices on your video screen. One of the biggest reasons I picked this receiver is because it has a USB port which I use to power a ROKU stick since we stream our video. I only needed 2 of the 4 HDMI inputs, 1 for the Roku and 1 for Blu-ray, but there are 4 if you need them. I installed a switch on the HDMI out so I can switch the output between the television and projector with the push of a button. All in all I am very happy with the receiver and hope that it will last many years.

Great receiver. Better sound than the bose 9000 soundbar on my TV. Bass is great from some older speakers. Bestbuy put it on sale the week after I purchased and honored the price match giving me the difference back. Great experience.

I always like the performance of Sony products especially the home theater receiver cause once you program it you don’t have to reprogram anymore this is my 3rd upgraded already for home theater Sony receiver and they sound good I got 4K compatible and Bluetooth it made my Bose speakers sound like realistic .

Very good sound! I have it hooked up to 4 speakers. It’s good for music and movies! Enough HDMI Ouputs for gaming and other devices. Easy to use and powerful! I recommend buying this Sony Receiver!
