    Operates manually or with wireless remote. Note that it has a plug-in FM antenna that is different from most others - - an antenna from another system will not fit/ will not plug-in.

    Bluetooth connection iffy

    I bought this to replace a vintage receiver because I wanted hookup to a sub. Using strictly as a stereo receiver to stream music with 2 pairs Klipsch speakers and a Klipsch sub. A couple of things- no tone controls (just present sound fields 'jazz' 'stadium' etc.) which doesn't let me control sounds like receivers from back in the day. I had to download an EQ app on my phone to get decent sound. Second problem is bluetooth pairing. My Samsung phone "sees" the receiver but won't pair. I'm left deleting the receiver from the phone and re-pairing it with the receiver remote each time I use it. A total pain since my UE megaboom bluetooth speaker has never had pairing issues. The only reason I'm keeping the receiver is to eventually use it as part of a home theater set up and because it was pretty inexpensive as I bought it on sale.

    My only issue is when I have the sound going thru HDMI ARC, I can't watch football on TV and listen to the radio broadcast. It automatically defaults to the TV audio.

      Hi Tayncin, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're very happy to hear you are enjoying the sound of it and it matches well along with your subwoofer and speakers. You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Once you take advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, combined with 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2 support, there is no going back! Be sure to take advantage of the flexibility of 6- in/2-out HDMI and multi-room listening, plus voice control powered by Google Home. Don’t forget our Phantom rear surround channels can transform your five-channel system into a seven-channel system too! Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
