    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.

    This is a very good stereo receiver that is doing appropriate job for my 5 speaker system. I bought this to replace an old Onyko system that would no longer allow audio pass through. We were actually surprised that the sound from this system was better than the old system. It does come with a device to allow you to adjust the speaker volume from about 20 feet away.

    Its a good recever that supports modern hdmi technology as well as sround sound. Has decent power and is a good match with some klipsch reference speakers. It drives speakers consistently regardless of volume which is good! Pretty simple to understand.

    Great audio system for a very reasonable price. I purchased mine about Amin the ago and could not be more please with it. Simply love it so far it does everything it said it would and more. I really like the Bluetooth connection for playing music and it had four HDMI connections so I am able to plug all my devices in it and not worry about my TV only having two HDMIs that force me to unplug devices to use others.

    My 30 year old receiver went to the happy audio heaven a few weeks ago. I went online and searched for a replacement. There were newer models, better models, and certainly more expensive models out there. However, I settled on the best model on a budget model… it is Great! And I am happy; no regrets about my purchase.

    I was super happy when this delivered and it delivered early the guy that helped was super awesome he helped me under stand the difference with watts and he got me a good deal. The product on the other hand is even better the quality of it is nice it does not feel cheap at all the knobs are smooth it is pretty good at cooling its self down super easy to set up the sound quality from this receiver is excellent.

    Bought this to replace a 35 year old receiver. Installation was quick and easy. Only hiccup is the unit does not have the 3 RCA jack accommodation for a video game (in this case a Nintendo Wii). I purchased a RCA-to-HDMI adapter and resolved the problem. Im very pleased with the system. It integrated perfectly with my Sony TV. Sound is excellent. The inclusion of the microphone for system calibration is a nice feature.

    Connection to e-arc hdmi makes it easy to control. Sound quality and intensity is awesome. The price is great only downside is if you crank the volume to max it will overheat after about 35-40 minutes of playtime and auto-off so it don’t melt its own face since it should have already melted yours.

    I replaced my AVR of the same brand which i bought in 1999. I love the sony brand as they last long and reliable. I used my existing 12 speakers from the previous AVR and it just works right out of the box. A little fiddling on the surround sound that requires the user to actually know what theyre doing. Otherwise, the default configuration just works. Added 4 more speakers for a total of 16 and the house shook. Just like in the theatres.

    Solid treble & bass. Nice sound producted for streaming. Owned Onkyo for 5 yrs and Sony blowed me away with this one for good performance with very budget price. Not sure how long it will last but gave me very good first impression already. With the same speakers setup as with my old Onkyo, Sony has fulfilled most of background and ambient sound that I barely heard with my old Onkyo. Thanks BB for a Holiday great discount. I highly recommend this one for all entry-level entrainment setup.

    Hesitated buying this system after listening to store sales rep. Went to another store to look at there in stock products. Decided to take a chance on this unit. Great system all around. Ease to set up. Had trouble understang what was said on my old system. Sound is so much more clearer I have no problem with hearing whats said. If you dont need a powerhouse wattage to fill a theatre but just your living room. Great unit

    I bought this to replace a 2-channel stereo receiver that died. A bit overkill for my setup, but if I ever do need surround sound or if my main system's receiver also goes belly-up, this will be a backup. The setup was super easy, the manual and controls clear and easy to understans (unlike my main system's to whose manual I still pull out on a regular basis after over 5 years!). And much to my surprise, it sounds better than the old unit. Probably all in my mind, but...

    I purchased this system after reading the reviews online and researching other stores prices. The only thing I can find fault with that I didn't see(or didn't notice) on the reviews is that it requires a powered subwoofer. I spent several days stepping through the automated setup routine trying to figure it out using my passive subwoofer. Once I added a powered subwoofer I was 100% satisfied with my purchase. It ROCKS!! It literally shakes the house! LOL

    New Receiver to switch 4K Sources

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just got a new projector and my old Sony (though not terribly old) wasn't able to switch 4K sources, so time to update. I didn't want to spend a lot and this model suited my needs and my budget. The price was right and the features did what I need for theater. It would have been a 5 star, but the sound I can get out of the receiver is less than stellar for music, so for theater it's fine, but it isn't a 'do-everything' receiver. I'm happy that it was in stock and I was wanting to get my home theater going quickly.
