    I bought a Sony 85" 4K ultra HD Ultra TV with Dolby Atmos. I wanted everything to match and be compatible. This receiver pulled everything together and brought it to life. Amazing quality and sound decoding for the price.

    Great sound produced with this Sony 7.2 receiver. I did not need the 4k video capabilities, but as an audio amplifier it produces amazing surround sound on my ceiling polk speakers. I would recommend.

    Replaced a pioneer receiver that actually was not very old. The pioneer was a bit fancier model but this Sony blows it out of the water. Outstanding sound!! Same speakers I had, on this receiver they sound 1000% better

    So far I'm very happy, mostly wth the ease of setup. I had prucased a 5.1 Onkyo receiver and gave up setting it up after three hours. I'd either get no video from my inputs, no sound, or both. After trying numerous options, I packed it up. I purchased this 7.1 receiver for $130 less and it checked off all the boxes. After I plugged everything it, it took me 15 minutes to get it working. The easy setup for speaker calibration was actually easy, and it told me that my subwoofer wasn't working properly. Duh, I didn't turn it on. I'kk revisit after I get a chance to properly use it, but I am so happy that it is up and running.

    Bought this receiver because it was on sale and came to the same price as a 5.1 which what I really needed anyways, but instead I bought this 7.1 so i have room to add on in the future. Installation was simple, sound was great . Great buy !

    Bought this and a higher powered Onkyo for my home theatre set up... Onkyo had a more full sound at certain volumes but was hard to set up and get accurate sound at lower volumes. This sony is better at creating realistic sound at any volume.
