Good amp, but defective unit lasted <1 year
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought in June 2020 as upgrade to the 5.2 Ch Sony model below this. In January 2021, it started turning off and could not follow instructions to update firmware, so must have had a very rare defective unit. Before it acted out, it worked quite well with our Sony Bravia 65-inch TV and Sony 4K Blu-Ray player. Replaced it with the DenonAVR-S750H.

Terrible product and service experience
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this receiver since the end of November; in early May the receiver would shut off every 20 minutes of use. I completed the factory troubleshooting recommendations and finally sent it back in to Best Buy to see if it could be exchanged. I was informed it would need to be sent out for repair, and was informed I would be without my product for two weeks. I tracked the status of the repair online and was astonished that almost a month later it was still in queue to be repaired. I emailed my representative and was informed that we were waiting on the main board to be shipped from the manufacturer. Once the month of waiting for the part had passed I was told I could receive a new product, but unfortunately I was out of town. By the time I got back in town, my repaired product was ready for pickup. I happily went to Best Buy to pick it up, but when I got it home, no sound would come out of my speakers. When I attempted to auto calibrate I received and error that said I had headphones plugged in. I DID NOT HAVE HEADPHONES PLUGGED IN. I took the product back to Best Buy and told them that the repair had been botched and that I had been a month waiting on a repair that they claimed had been completed, when, in fact, it had not been completed. I was told that corporate policy would not allow them to exchange my product for a new one, and that it had to be SENT BACK OUT FOR REPAIR...AGAIN. I asked the customer service representative how many times this would have to happen, she nudged my product sitting on the counter in an attempt to get me to leave the store for being "argumentative." I asked for the store manager and I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I was told in no uncertain terms that I would not get a new product to replace my broken one, and had to ship it back to the service center that messed up the repair to begin with. I gave it to them on Saturday and IT IS STILL WAITING TO BE SHIPPED ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The customer service that I have received is so sub-par that I will not purchase ANYTHING ELSE FROM BEST BUY...EVER AGAIN. I am thoroughly disappointed in my Sony product, AND the sub par care that I have received from Best Buy despite being a "Best Buy Member...never again...
