Annoying
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup. However, everytime you turn on tv and receiver, the receiver menu comes on asking which device you want to use. This is annoying.

Replacement surround sound receiver.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a very old and dying Sony 5.1 receiver and am very happy with this new one. There is just one thing that for the life of me I can't figure out, the rear speakers only work when we watch a Blu-ray. Everything else, cable tv, apple tv, music, just deliver sound through the front and center speakers. I'm sure i have something not set right but i'm still trying to figure it out. Great sound and remote. Receiver is actually hidden behind my tv above a fireplace. I would definatrly buy it again.

Was a good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am never disappointed with Sony products. I had an old Sony stereo system and used its receiver for my surround. However, a few months ago it would not process the sound on newer movies. This was hard to come by but I was able to nab an open stock item for about half the cost. Only issue I had was the set-up was a bear. Probably because I am not a huge techie. Had to go on-line several times for instructions. I still give the item 5 stars because I believe the issue was more user driven. Puts out great sound.

Best bang for your buck!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great entry level receiver! Has all the latest tech like Dolby Atmos and DTSx. Best bang for the buck. Truly a well build receiver for the price range. Sony have been around forever and always delivers great products. Highly recommend this unit if your upgrading from a 5 channel receiver or don’t want to break the bank to get some new features like Atmos for a great price. I was using all 7 channels with 2 subs and the receiver handled effortlessly.

Not great low price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value and sound . Poor build and design controls difficult to see and understand . Display hard to decipher. Auto set up inaccurate must be done manually. 1stt unit died after aa month was able to exchange it at Best Buy,the new one is still working after a month . The saving grace is that it’s about the cheapest atmos receiver out there and it has a low height important to fitting into my cabinet.

Exceptional value
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like many others who have reviewed this, I too was down grading from a much higher spec receiver because I never used all the extra inputs and outputs. Set up was easy, but a little tricky. You set it up as 7.1 and then have to use the menu to convert is to 5.1.2. Works great and the price was unbelievably low (keep checking the website for sales). Only negative was the blue-tooth would not pair with my Sony wireless headphones.
