Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent receiver. I had a Sony before but I was nervous about setting it. It wasn’t hard and the instructions were clear. Just take your time.

Purchased as an open box. The receiver was practically brand new other than a scratch on the front. The setup was straight forward and I liked how Sony included a calibration microphone making the setup such a convenience. The home theater is back to life with this receiver.

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.

Bought this to upgrade from a very old and outdated Onkyo and I have to say I’ve found the holy grail of receivers.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.

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 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.

I love it! Easy set up! Initially had a problem with watching tv on antenna but chatting with support solved it. Have old wii, dvd, cd and smart tv attached. Sound is great for us with our 5 channel setup. Automatically turns on when tv comes on. Automatically switches sound to whatever we’re watching or listening to. No complaints! Would recommend.

Sony makes an excellent surround sound receiver, and this is a prime example!. Movies come to life with prudent placement of the speakers (I have Polk Audio, also purchased from Best Buy years ago). I use the Bluetooth to really get thhe most out of my Amazon Music playlists, the sound is amazing!

All the basic features, great sound for our room. Took a star for very minor issues - for some reason the streaming device grabs the output at start, and getting the speakers set correctly for the different signal types was a little annoying (the menu could be clearer). Otherwise great for our needs - a couple of gaming consoles, a streaming device, and a couple of separate audio connections. When the device comes on, there is a click loud enough to scare the dog.

The set up information could have been more informative and clearer. I am using it for occasional audio for my tv; the receiver is connected to stereo speakers. It's 'surround sound for 2 speakers' setting works well and has a dimensional quality. The receiver's bluetooth for playing content from my tablet through the speakers works well too.

Was needing just something entry level into 4k and scored this as a open box item and saved a good chunk of money. Awesome reciever with no complaints. But just for a heads up youll need a active subwoofer (one with its own power source). Other than that everytbing else was a breeze!

It was easy to setup and has several back connectors to connect devices. We have a projector, roku, and antenna converter connected to it. It also has radio reception. We have 4 speakers connected to it. Amazin surround sound.

I’m not a real knowledgeable person around these things. But I will say that I needed a modern tech stereo to play music and go with some new speakers I purchased. The price and watts per channel blue tooth and brand all seemed right for the speakers and I’ve loved this stereo in the short time I’ve had it. Sound is good operation simple no complaints at all.

Good output. Easy to set up. Controls are easily learned. Sound system sounds good with more than enough power. If this product lasts a long time without problems I would increase the rating to a 5 star

I had a very old Sony Receiver and when we got a new TV/Internet provider the equipment was also very new and updated and we were not able to use our receiver without going backwards on the TV receiver, so we ran to Best Buy and bought a new Sony receiver. We bought the one with bluetooth so I could play my music that I've downloaded on my phone. It is awesome. This one is much easier to operate also.

this is the 2nd Sony I've owned my last one lasted 20 yrs and took a beating,This model is just the newer addition,all the bells and whistles,Bluetooth etc..,I was going to buy the yamaha of a similiar price point my sales geek said the Sony was a better receiver and 100$ off the sticker price ,also connects to my yamaha subwoofer which was a must for the Cave,Sounds Awesome!!Thanks Eric S

I have a 550 in my living room and loved that one. I got a great open box deal on the 590 and its works flawlessly, plenty of power and the built in bluetooth is awesome with Alexa. Highly recommend this and any other sony product, cant beat the quality and performance for the money!

I bought the Sony receiver, I love the sound when I'm watching movies on TV plus music comes in loud & clear, It was very easy to hook up, I have always purchased Sony & my go to store is always Best Buy.

We purchased this product to upgrade our surround sound system for our theater room. We need one with additional HDMI hookups so we can stream. The sound quality and performance is great. However, one thing I didn't think of... is my existing speakers. It connected to our smaller speakers, but we could not get sound off our subwoofer. It wasn't compatible. We now need to get a new subwoofer.
