    This is a nice system. Besides my smart TV, it is the center of my entire entertainment system. I'm no pro so it was kind of difficult to set up but once I got it going, I was quite pleased and the best thing is it's auto configurable. The system has capability of multiple peripherals. I'm proud to have it.

    Excellent sound . Able to control volume of each speaker from the remote which is great during football games when you want to hear the band and not so much all the talking from the play by play. The only cons are when I turn on the system, the tv and cable box come on but the audio go to tv and not the cable box. Then when I turn the system off, the amplifier turns off but then turns itself back on. Had the geek squad install the new sony but it is a minor inconvenience to manually turn sony on and off.

    I got this receiver because I upgraded my TV and needed a system that could support pass-through sound. I went into the store intending to buy a different model but got this as an upgrade and an open box. I'm very happy with it. Setup was super easy, and it had more than enough USB ports for all of my devices to pass though it. In less than 15 minutes I was up and running with surround sound. What's more, the built-in FM tuner was an unexpected bonus. I was able to tune in to my favorite station without having to connect my ugly FM antenna. The one thing that was a bit wonky was switching from device to device. That wasn't as straight forward as with my old system, but I'll read the direction and get that sorted. All in all, I got what I needed and was pleased that setup was so easy.

    Shutting down and Clicking sound

    Purchased in December 2022 and were able to enjoy it for slightly over a year. Started randomly shutting off initially and come back on as normally would. Then progressed to shutting off and started clicking sound at this point wouldn't come back on at all. I highly suggest Best Buy protection plan for any electronics that you buy. Sent in for diagnostic and they notified me it was approved for replacement. I won't purchase this one again.
