    I bought this to replace an old DVD/VCR surround sound system is an RV. It works very well and has great sound. The reasons I did not give it five stars are: there is no output for a passive subwoofer, the startup state always seems to hijack the system back to a startup screen (as apposed to the last mode used, which would be preferred), and the only way to choose preset FM stations is to scroll through them at the beginning of the list each time you want a different station. There is no direct entry option. But so far, this unit has performed very well.

    Price was right. Easy set up once you read directions. Lots of functions to play with. And more than enough connections on back of receiver for you to use. And it more than enough handles the power for the surround sound speakers I purchased.

    Good sound quality for the price and can power pretty big speakers and get decently loud. Bluetooth is great! However keep in mind it doesnt have features like chromecast or apple air play that are in some of the higher end devices do that allow for even better sound quality than bluetooth.

    This is an awesome upgrade to the previous reciever we had. The sound is clear and does what it should and the bluetooth connectivity is simple. Would definitely buy again. My brother actually picked up the same reciever because he liked ours so much.

    Good product, especially at the price point. Between the interior open space and our outdoor lanai, veranda and Tiki bar, I actually have 12 speakers configured. I was able to do all the hookups myself and we are enjoying the system.

    Affordable, and smaller than the model it replaced (HD700). Setup was a breeze and took just minutes. Sounds great, easy bluetooth pairing and playback. OSD works great. I've no need for 7.1 sound at the moment, so it was a perfect fit for me.

    Nothing wrong with this one, except a few days later another Sony went on sale that was a net $20 more but a 7.2 system with more power. This unit is great if you are just going to have front surround, where it shines. I did not fully appreciate the 5.1 from it, and I want both to be very good.

    I'm not an audiophile and I'll probably never be, I'm just making a simple review. I had a Yamaha VX375 that the sub out quit working on so I was in the market for a new receiver. I'm using two old school Klipsch Eclipse II's and a powered sub for my living room to mainly listen to music. The nicest upgrade for me was the Bluetooth ability to hook up to my phone when i want to use spotify. The only thing that I've found so far is that the volume limit is pretty low - 70. Which thinking about it now, it's pretty loud with the Klipsch speakers. My Yamaha went higher. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase. As far as pricing goes, its probably a little more affordable than some of the brands out there but for what I use it for, it's perfect.

    I read a number of reviews prior to buying a replacement AV Amp. Many said this is the unit to get for the price - I have to agree. It turned out to work perfectly with my Polk audio home theater system. Even the subwoofer (which wasn’t working with the old amp) works beautifully! The sound balancing is great. I do agree with a previous reviewer about there being four slots for banana plugs and the remaining were spring closure. Banana plugs are a VERY good idea. Don’t sweat it if you don’t have them though as it will take the regular speaker wire just fine. There is only one optical outlet- so be aware of that. I use this for my 5.1 speaker system, PS3, and fire-stick streamed through TV USB. Fits my needs perfectly with great performance- I couldn’t be happier ! I recommend this for anyone looking. Great system!

    This receiver produces decent audio quality for the price, it’s HDMI interfacing works well (Power off, on, volume up and down work with other devices), and features useful tuning features. The user experience, while rather sluggish in settings menus, is decently put together, and it features a UI while in bluetooth mode which is a nice touch. My only problems with it would be the audible hiss in higher volume settings (though my current setup rarely needs to go over 25) and the fact that the amp menu is controlled through the unit’s display, instead of with the onscreen UI. Also if you’re using a device like an Apple TV, directly controlling the unit’s volume through HDMI does not show the volume on the TV. You have to choose the ‘adjust by IR’ in the media box’s settings. While it may have some small quirks, I’d say this is a good introduction receiver for people interested in upping their TV’s sound.
