||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this “open box - excellent” however when it was delivered it didn’t have the remote, which is required for setup so I returned it and purchased the 5.2 model new in-store. The 5.2 works great so I assume this 7.2 does too.

Cannot get rid of black "home" page on start up.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well.... it works pretty well and its smaller can cooler than the receiver it replaced but it has one big problem. On my Samsung TV is a huge black box whenever it turns on. I can get it away after hitting the home button but its annoying! It seems that Sony has an issue with non brand TV's for some issues. Searching online found many people with the same issue. I had it installed by Geek Squad. No answer to why it does it. When the home black box is gone it works great. But there seems to be no work around for getting rid of it. YMMV but that's my experience.

Posted .Hi Robert, thank you for choosing and purchasing our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the home screen of your SONY unit.
Please make sure that all HDMI devices connected have HDMI Control enabled. If power is turned on from a device (such as a Blu-ray Disc player), then the soundbar or receiver and the TV turn on, and the TV switches to the proper input to view the menu or content. The soundbar or receiver is connected to the TV HDMI eARC/ARC port. This is the physical connection as an HDMI cable connects the devices.
The menu and content from HDMI devices that are connected to the soundbar or receiver then pass through to the TV. Since these connections are not physically connected to the TV, they are referred to as "virtual" connections.
If all HDMI devices are connected to the TV and only the HDMI ARC/eARC port connects to the soundbar or receiver, then the TV will both control and display all device menus and content.
If you require any additional support in regards to this product, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number:

Great receiver for overhead home speaker system

This receiver has 7 connections so I doubled up the two outside speakers to the 7th connection and it works great.

Very Disappointing. Do not buy this receiver!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ‘am not sure what happened to Sony. Once they used to make Quality components. My Sony receiver was running 6 speakers - 7.2 channel surround system, with one powered subwoofer connected to it. After about 5 months it started to overheat and went to protect mode and shut off every minutes. I did some troubleshooting as recommended. Power reset the unit, unplug the unit and wait 30 minutes then plug the device back in and power on. After power reset, disconnect the cables between your TV and the home theater system or home audio system, and then reconnect them. No luck. Finally I contacted Sony Customer service, they just recommend the same troubleshooting procedures, after about 2 hours on the phone with Sony Customer service, I had to send the receiver back for repair..... Sony will NOT replace unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStereo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The stereo was awesome, the only issue I had was with the sales person who had absolutely no idea about any of the things that the system could do versus another system I looked at. She needed quite a bit more training
