||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My nearly new home had ceiling mounted surround sound speakers. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not leave the receiver. With the help of Juan at the San Bernardino store I got the help I needed to ensure I received the perfect receiver for my home. I am ecstatic with my purchase. Thank you Juan.

Not too bad for a Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good receiver for the price, just a couple of issues. The audio source keeps changing for some unknown reason, and the calibration mic is not working. The sound quality is on par with the 10-year-old Yamaha that it replaced.

Sony - 7.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Rece
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it is working fine. The only issue is my Harmony multi remote doesn't work with the unit except to turn it on and off. Also each time I turn the unit on it makes me go through the setup procedure before I can just watch my TV. I do like the sound and the options for the sound to my speakers.

Also best looking one in my opinion. Alot of new receivers look dated. Looked like my old one. The sony though looks up do date and sounds awesome! You don't need alot of things the more expensive ones have. This works perfect!

I Bought this unit for its ability to pass 4K!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 50 years in broadcasting I have become very picky about video quality... After I upgraded my TV to a 4K unit I needed to upgrade my receiver to one that would pass 4K video. I picked this Sony unit and am very pleased with its performance. It has great sound quality at a reasonable price...I WON!

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver makes our speakers sound AMAZING! It replaced our previous Sony receiver so we already knew the about the quality. But the sound we receive makes me feel like I'm in a real movie theatre. It has several ports so you can plug in several speakers.

Easy set up but control not intuitive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found setting you the system to my speakers and my multiple add-on boxes with no problem. I do have a problem with setting up the sound options. I have to play with the remote to get the correct sound setting I want for my different inputs. - this may just me - I just don't find it intuitive.
