    Works great but slow to power up.

    The set up is easy with the supplied microphone and auto scan to check all speakers and adjust for distance and frequency response. I use the input switching on the TV instead of the one in the receiver. I use fiber optic from the TV to the receiver to transfer the audio. It works great. The receiver does not have a switched AC outlet to connect the sub woofer so I leave the sub woofer on all the time. The time from turning on the receiver to when sound comes out is 8 seconds. This is a little long.

    Great A/V receiver that produces 4K quality sound for my 5.1 surround sound system. This replaced my existing Sony receiver which failed after 15+ years of service. This device was easy to setup and has worked great for me so far. This receiver connects to all devices in my home theater and also works great with my universal remote. If you want a great receiver without having to break the bank, I would recommend this device.

    I wanted to replace an old receiver to connect to a modern smart TV and researched most models offered from Best Buy. This device was by far the best value and had all the features I needed. Now I can connect my cell phone via blue tooth, or watch any TV show and play them through my older Bose Acoustimass speakers system. Wow, my teenage boys never heard sound quality so good. Essentially, this Sony receiver gas life to my old system and well worth it.

    Replaced a 25 year old ONKYO. Super easy to install. Modern HDMI interfaces are wonderful. Un familiar with ARC HDMI, but very simple to interface to brand new LG 50" I got 3 werks earlier at Best Buy. Setup, programming, and tuning are very user-friendly. Used the manuel a little bit, since unfamiliar with new technology. Love the unit.

    Bought this receiver to replace an old unit that had gone belly-up and was amazed at the power and sound that this unit produces! Had to turn down the sub because this one cranks out so much more power than the old one. It's Bluetooth enabled, so I can play tunes stored on my smartphone and that's way cool! Score one of these outstanding receivers - you'll love it!!

    Bought this to upgrade from a very old and outdated Onkyo and I have to say I’ve found the holy grail of receivers. Easy setup, and with a speaker synch microphone, the reciever does all of the settings for you. I did a little tweaking for the sub woofer DBs but nothing I couldn’t easily handle. Was looking at this and a Dennon, and I’m very happy with my choice. Thanks Sony for yet another amazing product.

    I've had this hooked up for about a month now, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've really only been using it for TV sound (regular tv and a 4K player), as well as using the Bluetooth to play music on my phone. I'm very happy with the quality and clarity of both. Haven't used the FM tuner yet, I am a little disappointed that there is no AM band...but I rarely listened to that anyway, so it's not a big deal. Menu navigation is a bit confusing, but patience will ultimately pay off.

    Great multipurpose receiver. Theater quality sound for movies, nice clean & punchy sound for music. Unit is easy to set up, but there is a small learning curve to use. Many of the receiver's features are not specifically detailed or described in the owners manual; instead they are only available via a document on Sony's website. Beyond that little quirk, its a fantastic unit.

    This worked perfectly for what I wanted. I replaced a very old receiver cause I wanted bluetooth capabilities. I was going to buy a bluetooth speaker but then I thought it would be way better to buy this receiver and run my bt through my giant speakers instead of a way lesser bt speaker. Turned out to be an awesome idea! It works great and not overly expensive.

    I've had an older Sony unit that I bought in the '90s, which still works perfectly, btw, and sounds great. But... no bluetooth, and no HDMI. So I replaced it with this newer Sony and couldn't be happier... Sounds great, interfaces with my LG TV, and turns on automatically when I connect my iPhone via bluetooth.
