    I bought this amp to play music through. It works great with a paid of Definitive Technology D7 speakers. Stream music from my IPAD and iPhone, ApplePlay works great, No DAC but it has a circuit that acts like one. So really happy. Great value.

    I purchased this to replace a receive in our home gym that lacked HDMI ports. I only needed them for Apple TV to play on the TV with audio through the receiver and in turn gym speakers. I had used prior version of Apple TV with optical inputs, but the newer Apple TV didn't have the optical output, and it as a pain to sync video and audio. This Sony did the video trick and passes the signal well with good picture. What surprised me for this price point was the receivers power. Just as loud, but cleaner than the large well known receiver it replaced. Sub output works perfectly now the overall sound system in our gym works wonderful. Easy for my wife to navigate, loud enough me for me when I'm pumping iron.

    Great enhancement replacing my older Pioneer home theater in a box system... Paired up with new Sony SC3S speakers, new Sony subwoofer and WOW the sound is incredible. My only regret is i didn't get the 7.1 channel receiver for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X codecs... Overall, this is a great value for mid-range receiver options and it's the best bang for your bucks...

    This receiver does everything I needed it to and nothing I didn’t. It will pass through 4K and HDR, and does not have an active internet connection. Which is perfect because everything I’m running though it already connects to the internet.

    I bought this tuner to replace an 18 year old tuner that was not "smart" in any way. The Sony was super simple to setup so that Dish, BluRay player and Roku all switch seamlessly one to the other. The speaker setup, with the microphone was easy as pie.
