Amp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some trouble hooking up the Xfinity box and tv and remote. To this day the 3 don’t mix correctly but I like the amp. Great for movies and cd,s. This is the only use I have the tv had to be disconnected. So if you get one don’t buy a TCL Roku tv

Great picture and sound for a no frills receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is absolutely worth the price of admission. It really does have great picture and sound even though it lacks all the wiz-bang sound profiles other more expensive receivers may have. Does really, really well for streaming shows and watching sports!

Typical Sony Quality, Excellent TV Overall
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great. Even without local dimming it still manages uniform and deep blacks quite well. I’d describe the viewing angle as a little narrow but it’s perfectly fine for most rooms. In my experience Sony builds quality, and this is no different. We are thrilled with the purchase!
I would recommend this to a friendEasy set up, great sound and picture
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Running 4K Ultra signal to Sony TV, powering a Bose 5.1 system and does great. The Bravia system makes setting up a breeze, simply hook it up, turn on the TV and away you go. sound balancing is easy with included set up mic. Someday, I'll make is 7.1.

Affordable 7.2 receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.7 channels is definitely the way to go for home theatre movie watching. Rear speakers can be set to rear, atmos, or front B mode. Was impressed with the sound quality ofthe front only surround setting if you only have two speakers. Multi speaker setting good for music listening.

First great starter AVR
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first AVR and I’m really impressed with this purchase. I have this paired with my Sony PlayStation 5 with 2 Klipsch R-50M bookshelf speakers and geez this combo so far makes my windows rattle. I have no problem with the HDR setup and display like some people stated. Make sure you read the instructions that came with this AVR and you will have no problem with the setup. I can see myself having this AVR for a long time.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a big improvement from a much older receiver. I like the sound produced from the speakers in my home theater. My only downfall, is after several attempts to sync the speakers with the microphone, the back speakers are much quieter than I would like.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice upgrade from my 5.1 yamaha reciever. Added some atmos speakers and greatly improved the overall quality of my Klipsch home theater.

Great receiver !
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first time setting up a home audio system, so I went with this receiver since it seemed like the best deal. Well it was extremely easy to setup. I have this hooked up with some Polk audio speakers and subwoofer and it’s amazing. Great buy

Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this receiver because we hosted a fight party at our home a week weeks ago. One of the main thing we were looking for was to make sure the receiver was Bluetooth and this one is and the setup and connect to our speakers was pretty easy as well.
I would recommend this to a friendNo surround sound output issue due to PS4 settings
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I could not get the surround sound to work from PS4 HDMI to receiver to TV via ARC. I worked with tech support and checked all my TV settings, but decided the unit was faulty. I couldn't understand the problem, as it would play noise through the other speakers for calibration. I returned it, and bought the 5.2 unit, tested in store w/ bluetooth, all speaker outputs worked fine. Got the receiver home but still had the same problem. After searching through the PS4 settings, I realized the PS4 default audio output doesn't provide surround sound. You have to change it to Dolby Digital. It still seems a little inconsistent, but for all I know, it is the way the game outputs the audio. Music on Spotify app on PS4 now plays all speakers. At least I know it's not an issue w/ the receiver, so much as the data it's receiving.

Great bang for buck do all reciever
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was needing to replace my out dated surround sound in a box 5.1 system. The speakers that I had where adequate, but my old reciever was shot. This thing is perfect 7.1 surround, or a second channel for outside speakers, and blue tooth connection to my device.

Sounds good

Posted .Hi MeghanO,
Thank you for the review and we're glad you like the price and sound quality of the AV receiver. We recommend checking the speaker wires connected to the unit. Strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the speaker cables, and then tightly twist the speaker wire strands. Insert the stripped ends of the cables into the terminals.
