Great Entry level AVR for home theatre enthusiasts
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been great so far for entry level home tgeatre. Has atmos capability amd I run a 5.1.2 system. Will add a sub to go 5.2.2 eventually. Great value with this avr. You will have to spend twice as much if you want 4 height chanels, so this is my go to for entry level receivers.

Best bang for the buck!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it! Many useful features, plus some bells and whistles that I don't use. I'm slowly upgrading our system - piece by piece. This amp actually senses when the older speakers can't take what its putting out and shuts down! Buy it!

So Far - So Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this receiver for about two months. I would normally wait a year to ensure the quality is high enough to maintain a lifespan of at least a year, but at least I'll say a few words of interest for prospective buyers. The track record (from other buyers is good, with few negative complaints which prompted me to purchase it. The features are kind of basic, but offer a number of items that really don't exist in very inexpensive receivers. It even has Bluetooth capability. It unfortunately has a lower capability to drive my Sony subwoofer than my previous receiver, but yet minimally acceptable. The programmability of tuning the back speakers is kind of cumbersome, but doable. In this price range I believe it is a candidate for one who is looking to buy a surround system that will not break the bank but yet do the job. One last thought to remember... Choose a component by model and not by manufacturer because models can range from terrible to great. Look at the reviews from people who bought the particular models and look for a commonality of negative complaints rather than someone only saying it is better than sliced bread.

Easy to follow set up instructions.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My nearly new home had ceiling mounted surround sound speakers. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not leave the receiver. With the help of Juan at the San Bernardino store I got the help I needed to ensure I received the perfect receiver for my home. I am ecstatic with my purchase. Thank you Juan.

Not too bad for a Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good receiver for the price, just a couple of issues. The audio source keeps changing for some unknown reason, and the calibration mic is not working. The sound quality is on par with the 10-year-old Yamaha that it replaced.

Sony - 7.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Rece
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it is working fine. The only issue is my Harmony multi remote doesn't work with the unit except to turn it on and off. Also each time I turn the unit on it makes me go through the setup procedure before I can just watch my TV. I do like the sound and the options for the sound to my speakers.

You don't need alot of things the more expensive ones have. This works perfect!
