Out performs my 700 dollar yamaha by a long shot. Plug and play, easy set up

This item was really easy to set up! Very sleek, great quality and the sound from our speakers is awesome!

Needed to replace a blown receiver. Just used for TV to surround speakers. Easy to set up and works as expected

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

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.

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.

We’ve had this item for almost a month now and have absolutely no complaints! Super easy to setup yourself with clear instructions or prior working knowledge and looks great in the new space!

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

Easy to setup and has a lot of great features. Really good price and service. Great sound and picture quality.

wow 725 watts very clean response good value open box

This is a very nice receiver. Very easy setup and a great sound just what I needed for an extra room.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Great receiver, easy to set up and use. Good sound and features. I use it as a home theatre with just a couple sources and it works great.

Its working just as described I needed a receiver for my basement home theater and this one had the right features and the the right price

Hooked up this receiver to older Bose speakers. The sound was great. It was easy to hook up since basically it connected just like my old receiver.

For the price this is a great entry level A/V receiver. I purchased this primarily for the price. Also, because I was in a rush to get a 4K pass-through receiver to go with my new 4K TV. Basic easy set up if you use the Auto Calibration (recommend). I like that it is not bulky, simple clean look. Works well! A few minor things that I was disappointed with no USB port to directly connect your device. However, it does have a bluetooth feature. I prefer the direct USB connection. I thought it would be louder, my previous receiver (also a Sony) would have the house shaking at a volume at 38 with this receiver I have to be at a volume of 50 to achieve the same effect. Next, the "amp menu" can be difficult to navigate & the manual does not offer a layout of the "menu tree" which would be very helpful to help you navigate the settings. Lastly, the speaker connections are a mix of binding posts with your standard insert & pinch type connectors. I would have preferred that all the connections be binding posts. These are minor dislikes based on personal preference. Regardless, a good receiver, no issues thus far. Great for the price! Recommend it if you want something simple, low cost & if you are not a hardcore audiophile.
