Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like this receiver. Very easy to set up and run. We use it mostly for TV audio and the sound is great and plenty of power. We have 2 Polk Audio front speakers a subwoofer and center channel that makes great sound for those movies.

Easy to setup, took about 15 minutes. Good sound quality.

Great sound. Includes calibration mic (and performance speaker calibration during setup), which I didn't expect. Plenty of power to fill our viewing room and rumble the floors with the 5.2 speakers we have.

Purchased this to replace my older receiver after 15 years and it still works great, just wanted something with Bluetooth...lol This receiver has a great quality sound!!!! It says remote sold separate, but it comes with a great remote! This was a Excellent Buy!!

The audio amplifier is exactly what I needed and wanted. Works great. Very easy to hook up with my speakers. Sounds great and easy to adjust the sound quality.

Two previous Yamaha units have failed and become useless after a couple years of use. Hopefully Sony has a better life built into this, but it's a good value for the money, and should it fail I won't have lost half what the Yamahas cost. Works well, good sound, easy install and operation

Does a great job. Bluetooth ready. Simple to use!!

My former AV receiver was at least 20 years old and it finally died. No sound anymore. After checking online for a possible replacement, there were 2 receivers that fit my bill. The Sony was a few tenths of a percentage point better than the other receiver. I was able to pick it up a couple of days later at the closest Best Buy store. So far after setting it up which was relatively easy, it has worked great.

Great sound quality, lots of power (rated at 145 Watts) I kept my existing speakers, yet the sound is brighter with this receiver, after swapping out the OLD receiver. and definitely louder than my old 100 watt x 5

Works great. Set up to LG 75" Nano cell 4K with two bookshelf speakers and subwoofer. Simple, great value. Great sound from tv, music from sirius, amazon music, DVD. If you don't need surround this is a great choice. Excellent value and performance.

easy to operate. great sound quality. works fantastic.

This is exactly the receiver I was looking for my home stereo. Hooking up my speakers, turntable, and CD player were quick & easy. The Bluetooth connects quickly and easily and is ideal for my LG TV and iPad.

The first thing I noticed it it has some weight to the unit which means it has a good foundation and decent power supply. The esthetics is not the greatest however black goes well with most living rooms. I am running the system with two front Sony towers, a Sony center channel and subwoofer with the exception of the rear surround sound speakers which are Polk. After playing with the settings for a couple of days I am satisfied as I can now hear the voice in movies and the bass and mids don't over lap the voice in my movies. Now the bass is not too deep however it does the job and makes you feel the explanations and punches which further pull you into the movie. Having 725 watts is why I choose this unit over the 7.1 version as I listen to music as much as I watch movies so having 60-80 RMS watts per channel is important. Also having the option to add a second subwoofer is a good option and may do so in the future . The only down side is no Atmos or DTSX and still I am ok with that since my living room is small which makes my 5.1 set up perfect.

Easy set up with on screen visuals if hooked up through HDMI Arc, plenty of inputs. Excellent compared to others in its price range

Receiver integrated nicely with DirectTV 4K box, Samsung 4K TV, and Samsung Blue-Ray DVD player. Easy setup that includes a test signal to verify surround sound speakers are properly synced. Bluetooth is great for connecting Amazon music playlist on my cell phone to my surround sound system.

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.

Plenty of inputs for HDMI. Easy to set up and good sound

I like audio. Not as much as my dad who was the "component tower" and imported speaker kind of guy, but I know what to expect from good audio systems. I built a surround system with Sony Core Series speakers, but was running it from my old insignia receiver until I saved up for this guy. Night and day difference. I first thought the "self setup" mic was a gimmick, but it came with it, so I gave it a try. It works amazingly! You place it at the location of your head when watching TV, and hit go. You can fine tune the setup, and it shows speaker distance it found. It was within about 6 inches on each speaker after auto calibration. Only thing I miss is the AM radio tuner. Not a huge deal, but I'm in a rural area and it's nice to get those stronger signals. I'll trade the integrated Bluetooth for that any day!

Really good quality for the price you pay. I have been really impressed with the performance of the device and the optional output hdmi ports. I would say some of the audio presets are kind of lame but some are really good. Bluetooth enabled which is awesome when you are cleaning the house and want to jam to your tunes!

Easy to set up and the sound quality is amazing. Paired with a Samsung 4K TV and the experience of watching a 4K movie with theater like sound is phenomenal. Take the time to explore the various settings and you will be rewarded.
