    Great Entry Level Receiver

    This Sony unity is a great entry level receiver with HDMI ARC and 4K (60 FPS) passthrough. I bought this receiver mainly because it had the basic features I wanted along with the necessary dimensions to fit within the media console we own, so it's out of sight (by orders of my wife). It has some minor software quirks relating to communication with linked devices, but nothing overly detrimental to QoL. No wifi, but not a deal breaker at the moment. Miraculously, the unit manages to avoid overheating despite its cramped location, so hats off to Sony for that one.

      Hi DShaka, Awesome! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase! With support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) signal pass-through, you can enjoy the incredible jump in image contrast and brightness it brings—and the additional shadow detail and highlights further enhance picture detail and brings colours to life. Latest HDR standards such as HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and Dolby® Vision are supported. -Carl Sony_US

    Very disappointed. Good sound but after it heats up it cuts off. If you have a full setup like I have, front speakers, rear speakers, center speaker, along with an active sub...it doesn't do the trick. It cuts off after heating up. I'm using high gouge wire and banana plugs. If you like your music a little elevated as I do this amp doesn't kick.

    Easy set-up. Sounds great. Shuts down when you turn the TV off but doesn't come on when TV is turned on. So you have to use 2 remotes to turn the system on.
