Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Great sound separation and strong amperage. Live all the features

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.

Very easy to setup. Very crisp sound and video! Looks great as well!

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

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.

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.

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 product is perfect for our home. The sound quality is fantastic as well as being very user friendly

This is a better product. Its a good brand, 145 watts per channel which is higher than most. Simple setup. Most 9.1 or 5.1s are only 100 watts per channel so you get more bang for less money (lets be honest people rarely use 9.1)

Better than expected. Easy set up. Great for small room. Good value. Banana plugs for main speakers.

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.

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!

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!

Outstanding sound. Excellent quality. User friendly. Comparable price with other appliance centers. The technician came to install the system. He showed me how to use the system. Have not had a problem with the system. Very happy with the purchase. Definitely will recommend it to family and friends. I have purchased other home theatre receivers in the past, but this one is definitely the best I have ever bought.

Where else can you find a stereo receiver with a phono input that is affordable? Have zero issues with the sound of this unit. Use it in a home office and it performs quite well. Nice features, bluetooth works great, like that it has bass/treble control from the remote

We bought this to replace another receiver we had purchased a few years ago that did not last very long. I was a little Leary because of the price. It was less than I expected to pay. But it has turned out to be a great receiver. We have front back and center speakers and they sound great. We use it for a projector, play station and firebox and they all set up easily. We have a all in one remote that was very easy to change over to this system. Very impressed.
