    This products works great sbd it has enchanced my hearing experience with movies . The problem is it should included the digital cord required to plug into the sound system or at least identify that you need it.

    Great product that offers Dolby Atmos at an affordable price! I just wish I didn't have to manually switch from different input settings to get the best sound for different Dolby streams

    This sony is terrific. The only problem has been Best buy over rated the watts/channel as sony lists it a 90 vs Best buy's advert of 145W. Thus we aren't able to drive the channels as effectively at low volume.

    This was a little confusing to set up after hooking it up to all our speakers. It works really well but between the different apps, the volume does fluctuate a lot. This is great though, definite improvement from our last one.

    Much easier to install and operate than predecessor. No speakers included and connection for woofer is different from previous receiver, so could not use my old one. Consequently, could not review bass response. Good value for the price.
