Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price you can’t beat it. It has plenty of power and is very easy to use. Just make sure that it has plenty of ventilation because it can overheat. It does have a safety shut off if it over heats. Great product.

Great entry level receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this inexpensive receiver to replace my pioneer vsx 532 that quit on me after 1 year..and must say that I'm pleasantly surprised.. it sounds better than the pioneer and is more user-friendly. Now I pray that it will last a lot longer than my last.

Nice receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well with older speakers. HDMI hookups are good, only downside is that if you want to listen to the TV, it has to be on. Can't use TV speakers without changing settings. It is a little light on the wattage @ 750 but ok. Overall it's a pretty nice receiver for the money.

Fits the Bill for Surround Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs the Dolby Vision. Paired with a new 5 speaker in-wall and ceiling setup along with subwoofer. Like the mic for automatic setup and good connection with my new Samsung 4k TV. Works seamlessly. Like Bluetooth connection also. I wish only it add the wireless connection.

Easy upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to this unit from another Sony home theater receiver that was 10 years old and still going strong, but didn't support 4K or newer audio encoding (to match my new-ish Sony TV) or a bluetooth source, which the new one does. The swap was easy, just moving cables and connections from the old unit to the new. It worked from the start. I like the automated speaker level setting capability - it worked the first time. A bonus is that I can now (mostly) operate all my devices (Sony and otherwise) using just the Sony TV's remote control. I'm very happy.

Great affordable surround sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.High quality and affordable. It offers all the features I needed for my living room theater. My only complaint is that doesn't seem to fully function with the Xbox Series X. Surround sound works with some games and not others. Same with apps. Might be an issue on the Xbox or TV. Its also important to note; when plugging devices, like gaming consoles, directly into the receiver, it only supports 60fps. You will need a higher end model to get 4k/120fps.

So Good That I Bought a Second One
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am spoiled. I can remember when flat screen TV's and audio receivers were much more expensive than they are today. That said, I now have three surround sound systems with large screen TV's in my house. One of them had a Home Theater Receiver similar to this Sony. When one of the other receivers failed, I waited for this new Sony receiver to go on sale. It checks all of the boxes for performance and has a simple and intuitive remote that makes operation easy and enjoyable. With Bluetooth no less! The failed receiver remote was so complicated that I know I never took advantage of all of its functionality. No matter how good the video for shows or games - The experience just isn't the same without quality audio.
