Perfect for 5.1 in a smaller den or bedroom
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is perfect for a second viewing room, in our case, a bedroom. I'd still like to throw a subwoofer into the mix but it's a small space, for which a smallish set of speakers work fine. With a set of five matching speakers, the center has a 3/4" tweeter and two 4", and the others match with a single 4" and tweeter each, two on stands and the two surrounds in bookcases. It could handle my bigger speakers too, except for the two rear surrounds in our slightly larger home theater. The codecs are up to date for streaming audio and UHD, and a UHD disc player. I have a much older system plays SACD multi-channel and drives 7.1, but if it ever starts to go out, this will hold us until we bite the bullet and go for a beefy system with Atmos.

Needed a receiver to connect to ceiling speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit was easy to hook up and program. It does have more capability than I will probably use, but will explore options later. One thing was the ability or compatibility with my DIRECTV remote. Now can turn on Cable, sound, and TV with one remote.

Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced.a much older receiver with this Sony receiver. We love the sound, but wish it had a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. We have a set of Sharper Image wireless speakers that we cannot use because the unit lacks an output for either 1/8" phono or RCA connectors.

NIce unit for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit for the price. Only issue was the set up. Seemed to glitch quite a bit, would not recognize the eARC cable. Then wouldnt recognize the number of speakers. All had to be manually assigned, something I feel should be automatic. After a quick google search for troubleshooting I found a nice article from Sony that fixed the eARC issue. Then gave up on the speaker settings for the night. In the morning the "sony elves" worked their overnight magic and the speaker settings were good. Honestly could have been it needed a couple of full "power downs" to get things going. Still, I feel, this should have working out of the box. For the money though I am satisfied overall. I guess was spoiled my my $1300 Marantz HTR.
