Posted .Hi NewPhoneOwner,
Thanks for the feedback. We want to say sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver

Ebarassing Sony Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unprecedented That Sony would build such a piece of junk. firstly the tuner is horrible and cheap, the antenna and its worthless connection are garbage. The sound is ok, but so cheaply built. I would NOT recommend this receiver. Sony You Should be ashamed of Your selves for this!

Unsatisfied
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our reciever quit on our surround system purchased 2 years ago from Best Buy. They told us this reciever would work with our surround sound system. Nothing worked together. The reciever wound up going into the garage and we are without a surround sound system unless we buy the whole kit AGAIN. NOT HAPPY

piece of crap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Protect Mode that is all. after 4 months this is the message i get and the receiver shuts off. it doesn't work. i have completed all steps to troubleshoot this piece of crap and it still doesn't work. Now stuck with a 350 dollar paper weight. You would think Sony could put out quality products but nope they sure as heck don't.

Sonny AV Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver behaved in a confusing manner: switched by itself to Spanish (from English) language; speakers connected to the unit would not function; when speakers began functioning, they alterntely put out sound, then shut off.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not buy if you are going to use it with Apple TV. The 4K passthrough promised by Sony does not work. It actually downgrades the quality. Returning to buy Dennon.
