    Works great. Does the job. The price was a bit hight but I guess they have to make their money. I do feel like the size is a bit big and is hard to fit with all the other smaller components. I don't know how it works to much since there is so much to read in the instructions.

    Going from a 2.1 system to a 5.2 system makes a huge difference. We run our audio and video through this receiver into our televisions and the improvement is tremendous even using old analog speakers. The unit is relatively compact, it was easy to set up, and it is easy to use.

    I decided to upgrade my home theater receiver after buying a new UHD TV. I waited till a Black Friday sale and bought this one. It greatly improved my tv experience and I love the additional features. I love the Bluetooth feature so I can listen to music using all of the speakers in the basement.

    It runs very cool and quiet but isn’t particularly impressive sounding nor very powerful for an AV receiver but what do you expect at this price level. On the plus side, it does integrate well with my tv and is well controlled by my tv remote and works well with Apple TV and Sony Blueray. However the surround sound is mediocre and it took several attempts to balance the center channel and sub woofer. Sony needs to upgrade its software and an App would be nice.

    I've had this AV receiver for about 6 months now. We didn't need anything too fancy, just something to connect our speakers to and our cable/apple tv/xbox so we could just run 1 cord to TV instead of 3. It was fairly easy to set but after about 2 months it randomly shuts off, which is ridiculously annoying. Sometimes it will go a few days, sometimes it will shut off every 20 minutes. It's in an TV stand (not fully enclosed), so it shouldn't be over heating. Tried resetting it multiple times to no avail and customer support calls were useless. Overall pretty disappointed and will likely choose a different brand when we get another one for the basement.
