Replacement surround sound receiver.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a very old and dying Sony 5.1 receiver and am very happy with this new one. There is just one thing that for the life of me I can't figure out, the rear speakers only work when we watch a Blu-ray. Everything else, cable tv, apple tv, music, just deliver sound through the front and center speakers. I'm sure i have something not set right but i'm still trying to figure it out. Great sound and remote. Receiver is actually hidden behind my tv above a fireplace. I would definatrly buy it again.

We're glad that you are happy with the upgrade! It's unfortunate that you are not able to enjoy your rear speakers on the other sources. You may find this link helpful:

Painless Warranty Repair
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a lemon. within a month or two the receiver would go into protect mode and shut down. I started trouble shooting and eventually go to where it would be plugged in all alone in a completely different room and shut down. This review is more to showcase the warranty repair process. It was smooth and very simple. when returned, it worked great for about 6 months. Now going into protect mode again and all warranty periods have expired. I hope this is an anomaly and now as I look to replace it with something that actually works for more than ten minutes at a time,.. I am for the first time considering moving away from a Sony product. I hope everyone else has a better experience with what looked like a very capable receiver.

Was a good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am never disappointed with Sony products. I had an old Sony stereo system and used its receiver for my surround. However, a few months ago it would not process the sound on newer movies. This was hard to come by but I was able to nab an open stock item for about half the cost. Only issue I had was the set-up was a bear. Probably because I am not a huge techie. Had to go on-line several times for instructions. I still give the item 5 stars because I believe the issue was more user driven. Puts out great sound.
