Great value, easy to setup.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I figured that this was just going to be another run of the mill receiver to replace a unit that finally died after years of use, but I was pleasantly surprised by the features that it had. It automatically connected to my TV (which is a slightly older model Aquos) and makes switching from one input to another easy without having to change both the TV and the receiver.

Good basic receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid buy if its on sale. I got it open box and saved a little more. Set it up in a spare media room and didn’t need all the bells and whistles, just 5.1 surround sound. Fit the bill nicely and works as expected. Easy room calibration and enough hdmi ports.

- Pros mentioned:Ease of use
Excellent value for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really this receiver - it is easy to set-up and has lots of input/output options. Remote has just the right amount of buttons (no overkill on buttons I have no idea what they do). I give it only 4 stars because the only way to adjust the bass/treble output manually is by hooking the receiver up to the the tv via hdmi cable which is just annoying and cumbersome to change and really unnecessarily takes up an HDMI input on the tv.
I would recommend this to a friend Good for starters
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first reciever I ever bought and I can honestly say I'm satisfied the setup up was simple and it worked as advertised. The more I played with it the more movies I watched and the more I did my research I realized I should of spent a little bit more for a more top tier reciever. This one does the job but has limitations as far as sound and features on my next purchase I'm definitely going bigger like 7.1 with atmos and all the bells and whistles.

Everything is great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to change the receiver from sony to Yamaha. Brad, the installer from Best Buy, said that the wire configuration was not meant for the Sony model. He was right and I ordered the Yamaha and it was perfect. Brad did a great job explaining the different setup and after using it I realize that the cord cutting and getting rid of all the other devices and adding Roku was the right thing to do. Thanks,Brad

Awesome Receiver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice 5.2 receiver. very easy to set up and use. the sound quality is awesome and handshakes very nicely with my sony tv. I was looking for something simple and not too complicated like the pioneer i used to have and this is a great option. I had some issues with the video and audio not syncing properly which is mostly fixed by switching the tv to game mode.

- Cons mentioned:Bass
Needs Tone Control
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HDMI is a plus, but doesn't make up for the lack of tone controls and insufficient bass when using it with only two speakers. I have two Pioneer HPM-100 speakers with 12" woofers and there is barely any bass.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good for the price - does the job, had to use it for my ceiling-inbuilt speakers and it makes them work just fine, distributes the sound well between the front and rear speakers. has some nice hall/stadium/jazz settings for different output. Makes a weird and loud click sound when it's turned on but it's okay I guess. would recommend to others who are looking at making a basic set of speakers work

Meets Our Family Needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was purchased as an inexpensive upgrade to an older Onkyo receiver with no HDMI ports. Does the job nicely. My wife loves that the receiver will turn on automatically when playing music from her phone via Bluetooth. Bonus... have been able to better sync audio between receiver and tv. Not a big fan of the remote... volume button doesn't always react. However as I use other universal remotes, its not an issue for me.
I would recommend this to a friend Good receiver, Fragile FM antenna connection
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver EXCEPT...we had a problem during installation of the FM Antenna. The side permanently attached to the stereo broke during initial setup. We didn't buy geek squad protection so we had to call Sony for warranty service, and they wouldn't cover it. We would have had to pay shipping to and from their location, it would have cost $150 just for them look at it, AND we'd have to pay for any repair parts so it wasn't worth the hassle. The receiver is great with other inputs, though, so we're giving it 4 stars. Just be very careful plugging in the FM antenna! And don't expect much help from Sony's warranty department.
