    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

    Only 3 stars because of Best Buy. They have slyly and ever so silently changed their rules on price guarantees. Used to be 30 days if they lowered their own prices. Now it is with in return period. 15 days on my purchase I found out after scouring their web site and chatting. The Sony I love. More compact, cooler and turns off with my tv. Sets it self up with mike in about a minute. Would buy Sony again, only not from BB.
