    Not happy with the remote operation and definitely not happy with what Sony calls an instruction booklet. Using the remote to set up the amp is beyond frustrating. Also could not get it coordinated with a 2017 Samsung 4K HDR TV. HDMI (arc) doesn't work. Sound quality is lacking.

    This receiver is only for FM. It is not AM/FM. If the customer needs (or wants) an AM receiver they should not purchase this receiver. We did not realize this when we made the purchase. Otherwise it is an adequate receiver.
