Subwoofer MUST be powered.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to replace my aged STR-K670P which i bought new many moons ago. Discovered my passive subwoofer would not work with the new receiver. Slightly irked with sony that this was not clear in the instructions or online. Would have been so easy for sony to include a note that you need an active subwoofer. Otherwise this would be a five star

Bang for your Buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great cost effective receiver. Good bang for your buck if you are looking for some bang without breaking the bank. Fyi, if you have Apple 4K in order to get the Dolby vision. You'll have to connect the Apple 4K TV straight to the TV. If you connect it to the receiver you will not get Dolby vision which Netflix has on a lot of their movies and shows. This is why i took a star off

This receiver would be ok for $250
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Missing HDMI 2.1 features, didn't turn up very loud and was a step down from my previous Sony STR 1070 AV receiver. Now if you're on a budget and want something slightly better than HTIB go with Sony AVR. If you want something immensely better than Sony go with Denon IC series of AVRs.
