Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wasnt planning on getting a new AV receiver for a while but i could not pass on the sale price and I have 30 yr old Sony equipment so I expected alot. As usual, they did not let me down. The set up was simple, the sound is amazing, and the connection to my TV/wireless devices is seamless.

Highly recommended. ships incredibly fast with the best tracking features I have seen. Product arrived in excellent condition and the instructions are easy to follow setup is a breeze and the sound is fantastic. If you are looking for a decent 5.2 AV Receiver look no further. Sony is a name that has a reputation for quality equipment at a economical price point and this unit is no exception. I get no compensation I just want to pass on my experience because shopping for electronics can be iffy.

This receiver/amplifier performs flawlessly in my set up. I’m running a cable box, X-box, Apple-TV, and Blue Ray player into it and the set up was as simple as plug and play. It powers five Pioneer shelf and middle-front speakers and an old sub-woofer with power to spare in a large living room. Set up went exactly as described in instructions and adding the additional rear speakers was no problem. This appears to be a quality Sony product at a very reasonable price.

It’s a really good receiver. I use klipsch speakers and it sounds amazing. I use Bluetooth to connect to my tv, pc, mobile and it works seamlessly.

It’s a simple receiver made for simple setups. I have it for our family room, so it doesn’t need tons of power or bells and whistles. Gets the job done and has plenty of power and inputs for a general user like myself.

Excellent sound and price is great. Easy to set up

This was my first purchase ever of a home audio receiver and after reviewing several products I found this product includes many features others didn't and for less money. I'm able to connect my surround sound speakers, a passive and active sub woofer, my playstation, and more. I especially like the assignable audio in fiber port to connect my roku TV audio out so I can route audio from roku apps like prime tv, vudu and many others. Without that feature I'd have to use the TV's built in speakers and that's defeating the purpose of a surround sound system. Very very pleased

We replaced an older upscale 7.1 Onkyo with this 5.1. It has very good sound and powers a nice speaker system. It operates with a newer LG C2 well. It took just a little time to get things functioning. I like it and recommend it.

works very well and will link up with your ps4 to power down surround sound is great price is affordable and its Bluetooth works well

This is an excellent piece of equipment for the price. I wasn't interested in all the bells and whistles that it doesn't have anyway, so I didn't have to pay for what I don't use. The mic set up feature for the speakers is automated, once you engage it. It's got 90w rms/channel, 5 channels driven, which is more than ample for most people's needs and it sounds great. One quirk: it doesn't always play nice with my big screen but it's nothing that can't be handled.

I needed a budget friendly receiver to power my devices. I'm a Sony loyalist, because wanted quality and quality I got. The sound quality from all of my devices have been enhanced.

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!

Performing well so far. Sound is good for a unit in this price range. Plays well with Sony TV, Sony Blu Ray and Roku. Remote is a little wonky, but getting used to it.

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.

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

I think both the quality and the well worth this tuner. It has many capabilities of which is important for a surround sound.

Home Theater on a budget. Sony has been making quality products for a long time. This is no different. Plenty of connectivity, power and ease of set up and use. No its not going to satisfy any audiophile but thats ok. This will do a great job for everyone else.

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'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.
