Incredible receiver for that price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lets be honest. I wanted a receiver in the 2k to 3k cost arena to try and check off all the boxes of everything I needed in a receiver. Then I saw this Sony and low and behold, although it didn't check off all the boxes, it covered most of them and at a price that is so inexpensive that you really can't believe it. Very impressed with it all of its inputs i.e. Cable, Roku, Blue Ray and PS4 for the kids. I reconfigured my speakers for Dolby Atmos and voila, its a fantastic surround sound system. Incredibly impressed!!!

Bang for your buck Atmos
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased this as a temporary solution to power a 5.1.2 system until I saved up for a separate AV preamp, power amp set up. I am using all SVS prime speakers with Yamaha in ceiling speakers for the height channels. This little AVR powers this set up beautifully and is controlled by any remote I turn the TV on with. My only quibble is the setup interface is a bit clunky and out dated looking. At high volumes it runs a bit hot so I purchased an AC infinity fan.

Great receiver for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an older Sony receiver that was failing and couldn't be happier. Speaker connections were straight forward for my 5.1 setup. I used banana plugs for the front speakers which was extremely easy. I am not utilizing the Atmos feature right now but that is an option for the future with this receiver. The ARC feature works perfectly with my newer Samsung smart TV. I used the included microphone to automatically set up the speakers and am happy with the settings. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect replacement for my Bose Lifestyle System, which failed after 13 years. I was able to use the Bose speakers, which worked perfectly with the Sony receiver. I added 2 Sony subwoofers and the Sony Dolby Atmos speakers. Everything connected easily and the sound far surpasses my previous setup. The Sony receiver has matching ports with my newer TV. The Sony equipment is very price competitive and works as advertised.

Great for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have previously owned several more expensive Onkyo receivers and functionally this one matches up while offering the formats I needed. HDMI 2.0 worked well passed 4k/60/HDR it has atmos, dolby surrond upscaling and on and on. Things I would knock about this are the auto calibration not sure why but it was miles off, not an issue for me because I know my speakers crossover and can tune DB myself. Also the menu options for testing speakers are lacking but for the price and features I highly recommend.

I would recommend this to a friendSony 7.2 Home Theatre Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Pioneer receiver went unexpectedly on the blink. I picked the Sony after some research and the features. While the family room that is the main viewing area is only 400 sq. Ft with 10ft ceilings this unit easily fills the space with sound. Adequate inputs and a breeze to set up speaker balance, room size etc. I believe our sound is better than before, Size is compact. Matches virtually any decor. For an inexpensive receiver you will not be disappointed. Sony has a winner with this unit
