Excellent receiver for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent receiver. The rest of my equipment is also Sony making setup super easy. It helped eliminate a good amount of clutter with the cables. Before it was a cable from each piece of equipment to the tv now it’s just one cable. Also the receiver has an accompanying microphone to help balance your speakers automatically which is awesome.

Good for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a hard time deciding whether to do 3 stars or 4. Very good value for the money but Sony could have made a few small touches to improve the user experience, especially making sure the Bravia sync really works as intended. Overall a simple receiver but if looking to get into Home theater save your money for the next level up or spend $300 on a better used one.

Lackluster sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know if it was me being a snob, or my ability to properly tune this receiver, but I was disappointed in the sound quality it pushed out to my 3.1 speaker setup with floor standing front speakers. I had upgraded from a 2009 Onkyo high end receiver which pushed out a much more full sound compared to this unit. This was lackluster in mid tone and bass. The setting menus are very plain and somewhat cryptic. You don't have much control over the speakers - no Midrange EQ, can't manually add them (have to use setup Mic). It did the job, it just did not meet expectations. I ended up going back to use my 2009 unit with digital optical out from my 4k TV. At the price, it would be better money spent to get a used higher end model from a few years older.

Posted .Hi vectr,
Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. Sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. Subwoofer is recommended if you want bass sound. Here's the link on how to adjust the equalizer of the unit.

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound coming through the Bose system is much better than it was with the oldl amplifier. I'm glad I made the change, even though it was still working. I have always bought my electronics from Best Buy and have been very satisfied.

great gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as an early Christmas gift for my parents when it was on sale. Their old receiver couldn't transmit a 4k HDR/DV signal so it was time for a new one. Setup was a breeze and it cuts down on the number of cables to/from the tv. Can't really ask for more. Oh and the sound quality is great. They both noticed a difference immediately.
