||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price the receiver amplifier works great. There are many similar units on the market but this system is a little more easy to navigate than some other manufactures models.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this unit considering the price. Dolby Atmos in this price range is rare. Only complaint is the noise it makes when it cuts on or off.

Wish I had gotten a 9.2 system but very happy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great. I compared the auto set up with mic and manual and I have chosen the manual so I could set all the speakers to small to take full advantage of my two subs.

Wasn’t What I thought It would be
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after my Onkyo receiver dies. I hoped I would love it like Sony receivers from the past. I do not. It’s not user friendly and I am quite tech savvy. I don’t like it’s interface, it’s 2021 and you still have to do most of the settings through the little lcd display on the receiver instead of an onscreen menu. Very annoying. The system is also rather annoying to just get straight direct auto formats from sources. Gotta adjust everything to finally get Dolby Atmos to actually be output from an Atmos source. And then change everything again when getting straight DTS from something else. Not user friendly at all. I guess it would be good for purest that want to change everything all the time but I like getting the direct audio from the sources they way they weren’t meant to sound. I don’t like having the system do a bunch of effects to it. Maybe I’m a minority there but I expect a much better experience from Sony. Very disappointed. Sony has really let their quality go down hill in my opinion. Making great products but always having stupid features that ruin the whole thing, like their 4K blu ray player. You ether have Dolby Vision always on or not at all. Why no Auto HDR mode like every other player? Sorry Sony. I don’t think I’ll be buying anymore of your products. I returned this and got another Onkyo.

Sony A/V Receiver functions fine
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to function fine as part of a home entertainment system. Running five surround sound plus a center, two side, and a subwoofer with no issues and good volume. FM reception reasonable. Was able to tune in SiriusXM with ease and it sounds good. It switches between Uverse (cable/sat) and BD/DVD with no issues, also radio. It plays no better than my 15-yo Sony but I had to upgrade because I needed a home theater receiver with HDMI pass-throughs.
