Great Starter or Upgrade Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great upgrade from my previous Sony Receiver. The sound that comes out of this unit is powerful and definitely more immersive. The fact that you can run all your 4K connections through this makes it the perfect media center hub.

Great Receiver @ Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this A/V receiver. It has really elevated my home theater to a new level. I have a 7.1 setup. Plenty of power to push all 8 speakers. Great value for the money as I purchased during a great Best Buy sales event! Would definitely recommend.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking to replace a Sony HTIB that bit the dust on me after about 15 years. Never owned a receiver before so I was a bit apprehensive. But this thing was a breeze to set up. I'm only running a 5.1 setup at the moment, but I can't wait to add my two height channels to get the full Dolby Atmos experience. I'd definitely recommend this receiver for anyone in the market for one.

New Sony AVR.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a 15 year old Yamaha AVReciever. The sound of this Sony is fantastic. It has three zones and set up was a little complicated but the Geek aSquad came through. Glad I’m a total tech member.

solid product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver to replace an old Yamaha which did not have options like 4K. The sound quality is pretty good and I noticed it has the ability to connect 2 subwoofers. It does not have connections for a preamp however. Overall, this is a solid entry lever receiver. My only complaints would be the front display is a bit small and it does not have connections for a power amp.

Great sound for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a more expensive receiver from a few years back. Replaced it with this for better features and control. Even though this was less expensive than what it replaced - it’s performance on surround sound separation, and clarity on voice and punch on bass reveals sounds I didn’t hear before. I’m very happy with it!
