Perfect Slim Receiver

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.

Running 2 Bose 401’s (Front)2 Bose 301’s (back) Sony center channel and sub. Excellent! Had to manually set sub as calibration was not right but WOW! Using as 5.2.

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.

Sony receiver review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great receiver, and it’s sounds really good with my Bose shelve speakers, center, and surround sound speakers. I was very impressed and it even startled me while I was watching Frankenstein move. It’s great for the price if you are looking for a mid price reciever.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the receiver to replace a older SONY audio unit . I was pleasantly surprised buy the sound and the features. For the price you cant go wrong and its more than enough power to run a TV/Surround setup. Buy it . You wont be disappointed !

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.
