    Two issues with this fine AVR. First, attempts to simplify controls has made them more complex. Second, the lack of a PHONO jack made connecting my turntable an engineering exercise I had not planned on doing. Otherwise, this AVR works flawlessly, as did the SONY receiver it replaced, after 26 years.

    Replacement for my previous Sony receiver which had an issue with the power. This replacement for the Sony STR-DN1080 (no longer made by Sony) has most of the same inputs, but not all. The Best Buy Technician did a great job in setting it up.
