Fragile and unreliable.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After less than year, product would click repeatedly from back of unit then go into protect mode. Mailed in for warranty repair, technicians could not reproduce the issue. Mailed back, worked fine for a year, now same issue has popped up, out of warranty. Not a speaker wire issue, problem is internal. Unpredictably stops working and goes into protect mode. Unless it can be repaired inexpensively it’s going in the trash. Fragile and unreliable.

Posted .Hi ChuckM,
Thank you for the review and we're sorry to hear what happened with your AV receiver. 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 AV receiver.

Return
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice looking unit, but thought the tonal quality was lacking and the reason I am returning this item is that you can not connect an outside antenna to it,.

Really bad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every time I change channels a menu pops up asking what I want to do. watch,listen,easy setup,sound effects or speaker setting. So I have to grab the little remote control and hit the home button. If the channel is HD and I change to a non HD channel it asks the same thing. This is pure stupid. Had I known this before I purchased it I would never buy this thing.

Won't Last
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace my 30+ years old pioneer receiver. It is a nice system, but it won't last. I've only had it 2 years and the left front channel has gone out. I've tried different speakers, factory reset, etc., and nothing. I'll be looking for a receiver from a different brand.

Total Garbage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I suffered with this piece of crap for a year. Completely useless trash. I just ripped it out of my system, threw it on the ground and took a sledge hammer to it. So refreshing! I feel liberated. If you're considering buying this product, I strongly encourage you to just take $300 in cash and burn it. You'll get more value from the momentary warmth and light then you ever will from this total piece of garbage.

Ok
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What is the warranty process on this. I purchased this under a year ago and now it won't power on. It started acting funny like changing inputs on it's own but now it's not even turning on
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Erica, We regret to hear that the unit is no longer turning on. For power-related issues, please check if there's a light indicator on your stereo system after you complete each of these steps:
Securely plug your device to a working wall outlet.
Make sure that your device has enough ventilation.
Remove any surge protector.
If it still won't turn on, try a different wall outlet.
If the issue still occurs, repair may be required. Your unit comes with a 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty. For further assistance, please contact our product support team via email or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sam
