    Sony 4K pass through upgrade receiver

    I'm so glad I upgraded from my old Sony receiver! The 4K pass through was what was needed over the old one. Also, this receiver is so much better at automatically turning on with the TV, and also switching between components. I drove 50 miles to another Best Buy store to get it on an open box deal, so I absolutely feel like it was worth the extra effort.

    I was looking to replace an 11 year old receiver in a relatively simple setup (one center channel and two bookshelf speakers). This receiver afforded an upgrade in sound quality while allowing better management of inputs (incl 4k and HDR). Very easy to setup and onscreen auto calibration was simple. This was a great solution to my system that I did not have to "over buy" in order to get. Very happy and would recommend for similar setups.
