    Sony has did a great job at fashioning, making, and designing this receiver. It does just what it supposed to do and its features are quite convenient for the use of your purpose. You are able to adjust the bass and treble on the individual speakers and the clarity available, with or without the added bass and treble sounds terrific. Might I add, the price is wonderful, on point, and very affordable for the features and quality you are getting. I would immediately and quickly recommend this product and company to another without hesitation.

    So far so good. This system is great. I admit I need to buy more equipment to use the full capability. I'm using front speakers right now plus a sub.

    This was the answer to my prayers for a new AV box. The old one had so many issues, the main one being using those fragile digital optical cables (too expensive, too hard to get inserted properly, too easy to break). This box has lots of inputs & outputs using the much superior HDMI technology. I can "tune" my sound to hear the full Surround Sound for movies but also a better "human voice" sound for my TV shows. The improvement in voice recognition has allowed me to watch TV without my hearing aids. Winner!
