Great sound, poor connectors.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great but I was greatly disappointed with the speaker connectors. I had all my 7.1 speakers connected with banana plugs on my older receiver and the only banana plug connectors on this unit are for the mains. Trying to feed a larger gauge surround speaker wire into those cheap push connector holes is frustrating and in no way provides a solid connection.

Good bang for your buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the receiver for my Klipsch 7.2 surround sound system and I have zero complaints. It's got plenty of power, small, easy to operate, connect and control. It was on sale and I couldn't pass it up.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat AVR! Okay power.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This AVR is fantastic! It talks to smart TV's like it's one with them! However, it's power claims seem exaggerated. This unit claims "165w" per channel and I can confirm it is definitely not hitting that number. All things considered, this is an awesome unit, just not paired well with my power hungry speakers.

Pure beauty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a great 5.2 receiver. Had a surge. Had problems. Thought it was busted. We were bummed! Bought this one. Hooked it up. Still had same problem. Figured out it was a splitter that needed to be reset. So we didn't actually need a new receiver. I was ready to return it, but we decided to listen to our Pink Floyd Dark Side immersion set in 5.2 surround sound first. We had just listened to it recently through the other receiver, so I had high expectations. The sound from this Sony far exceed those expectations. It nearly made me cry. So now we have a really great 5.2 receiver available for sale!

Great receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace an older Pioneer receiver that had finally given up the ghost. The only thing this doesn't have on it is an A & B speaker system set up for running two separate systems...on for the home system and what I used to have was an outdoor system hooked up. Not a deal breaker. The only downer (and it could be user error) is I couldn't get the system to balance out via the built in set up for it but I'll try again when I move. I'm really happy with this and am looking forward to adding a sub woofer and a sound bar or center speaker to it. I'm currently using a 3 speaker setup for it with no sub.

The perfect match for Sony Bravia TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only a Sony TV remote is needed for everyday use. Sounds good, but could use some more power. Great for the price. I almost returned my Denon x3600h to buy another one of these.
