Great A/V Receiver!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my entry-level Home Theater Receiver that I paired with the Sony CS line of speakers in a 5.1.2 configuration and I love it. If you're looking to upgrade from a soundbar then this system will prove well worth it.

Nice sound system
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is nice product I have my ps5 and my Xbox series X with a 4k blu ray player and it get the job done on having a great sound system. The sound is clear and the bass is very nice on it. I don’t even have it up 25% and the people who live above me said that they can hear it clear in there house I do recommend getting this but wait for it to go on sale and it do often

Sony Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great receiver and was very simple to setup. Only real issue I have is that when you increase or decrease the volume, it appears on the television screen. I can see that happening if I used the television remote, but not the Sony receiver remote! This is very irritating and is very distracting when you increase or decrease the volume when watching a movie! This could probably be fixed with a simple firmware upgrade. I've seen numerous people, including me, post on the Sony site about this, but nothing is being done. I wish I would have known this before I purchased it because I probably would have looked at other receivers that don't do this. As a matter of fact, my older Denon AVR3300 didn't even do this, so come on Sony, fix it!

Perfect for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything works without hassle (HDMI CEC works fine for me referencing another review). 5.1.2, 145w, Atmos/DTSX, is more than enough speaker for any indoor home application.

Great receiver and awesome value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great connectivity. Powerful audio. 7.1 setup was a breeze with the microphone. Gone or the days when I had to balance the speakers individually with a sound pressure lever meter. the 4K pass through is ideal. I was frustrated that the receiver kept shutting down every time I used my 4K DVD player. It was getting overloaded for some reason even with moderate volume. After many frustrating days, I discovered that my right front speaker connection had become loose and that caused the calibration to go out of balance for that channel. Keep that in mind if this happens to you. The only issue I have is that the receiver does not accept banana plug speaker connections. Other than that this is a gem.

Also, the TV and Blu-ray player I have are Sony, do connecting was pretty easy. I gave 4 stars because of compatibility with my cable box remote and the display is difficult to read from a distance.
