Posted .Hi Crazzyme, We are happy to hear that you love your Sony home theater receiver.

Plus, you can enjoy superior picture quality to match with 4K HDR pass-through. Thank you for trusting Sony! Vincent
Great starter receiver
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is jot the top of the line amplifier, but probably the cheapest 7.2 you can get. I have purchased 2 of them and I like it so far. If you’re building your first setup I recommend this receiver. If you‘re an audiophile and can differentiate the minor details in the audio quality, you should probably audition before buying one. Build quality is great, features are more than enough for a starter setup.

Check it yourself.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as an open box item. . Got it home and installed. Beautiful unit easy to use great sound reproduction. Then came the bad...The employee assured me that everything that came with an unopened reciever was included. No it wasn't, no optimizer mic, no fm antenna. Well crap, now I'm out 50 more bucks to get the missing parts, plus the three hour round trip. Lesson learned. LOOK IN THE OPEN ITEMS AND KNOW WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. I'm happy with the reciever but not the Best Buy experience.

Great but hdmi arc not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When hooking up hdmi arc/switch the sony menu will not go away on screen. Looked up some forums and no solution. I have to rely on digital optical. Other that that it works great and push out decent power.
I would recommend this to a friendAnother fine Sony product

I would recommend this to a friendDisappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Somewhat disappointed but satisfactory fir my needs. Bought for a home theater so for TV it’s ok but we listen to a lot of music and I was disappointed that the dynamic sound quality is quite inferior compared to my 25 year old Yamaha in driving my Definitive speakers. Although amperage is adequate the sound differential was noticeable in the dynamic range, clarity.
