Minor Problems
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm having trouble getting the speakers set-up and also, when I turn everything off, when I restart everything the SONY information starts coming up. Even after I already have the TV running no problem other than the sound testing of the speakers!

I would recommend this to a friendNot impressed
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped working after 18 months. Keep getting "Protect" error even with nothing connected. My first major sony purchase and not impressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood Surround Sound System
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice, basic surround received. Can't stream 4K dish channels through it because it complains about the receiver not being HDCP compatible. If I run the HDMI cables direct from dish receiver to TV then 4K streaming channels on Dish work fine.
