    I have owned only Sony Receivers as long I have had surround sound. This was a major upgrade, especially during the pandemic shutdown. I really love the ease of setup and that I can do it visually on my tv and the neatest part is the Bluetooth connectivity.

    Good value for the money. If you want all the movie sounds on a budget receiver, this is it. Great woofer, mid-range and treble sound. 4K looks great.

    This is perfect for a basic AV receiver for house. It also has everything that you need in today's world ..4K, Bluetooth etc. Setup is easy. I also like the fact that this is thinner on height than the normal receivers, fits perfect in my stand. The various custom programs are also handy for different content.

    First, we had excellent customer service at Best Buy in Beaumont CA. Second, the directions were easy to follow and I was able to connect everything easily. I love the blue tooth features although either the amp or the phone keeps forgetting to keep it logged in on Bluetooth. MInor issue. Very Satisfied!

    I didn't expect a lot from this Receiver, I just wanted to replace a failing receiver that I had. I was pleasantly and happily surprised by the ease of setup, and the quality of the sound that came out of my 5.1 AIWA speakers from this unit. My wife loved hearing all her Christmas songs and Music this year.

    Love this receiver. I have an iPhone and Apple doesn’t allow you to hook up to anything that’s not their product. I have my iPhone 11 Pro Max hooked up to this via Bluetooth and it sounds so good. I listen to all my favorite songs from my Apple Music. Sounds like a concert!!!

    Great sound. Good features. The only thing I don't like is that there is no way to force pure direct (plays in the audio format that the content was originally recorded in). Everytime I have to switch the mode. It's a small thing and otherwise it's been good.

    Great Sony system, works much better than our old system. The setup was very easy and never did get our speakers on our old system set correctly. Great sound and easy to operate. The person who waited on us was outstanding and knew exactly what we needed. Love the geek squad.

    Well, my last surround sound receiver died and technology had changed so bought this receiver and plugged in the Chromecast and fire stick into it .. works like a charm! Have a few more ports, but until the next new thing they are empty. Great sound, far better than my last receiver and far easier to setup.

    Simple receiver that sounds great!...Easy Setup but you will still want to tweak the settings to fit your needs. Some settings are on screen and others are done through the remote menu which can be a bit confusing which is the only reason I wouldn't rate it 5 stars.

    Receiver performs exponentially great in all areas of surround sound. The bluetooth function is easy to work with and as well as connecting speakers. The calibrating microphone that connects to it also is a nice touch that sony added.

    This receiver has a very classic look. As soon as you power it on, the set up begins on screen. Each time a movie is player through the DVD player, it calibrates to ensure you are receiving the best sound. Low profile design to fit the smallest spaces. I bought this for my neighbor and will likely be purchasing one for myself.
