Great for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have previously owned several more expensive Onkyo receivers and functionally this one matches up while offering the formats I needed. HDMI 2.0 worked well passed 4k/60/HDR it has atmos, dolby surrond upscaling and on and on. Things I would knock about this are the auto calibration not sure why but it was miles off, not an issue for me because I know my speakers crossover and can tune DB myself. Also the menu options for testing speakers are lacking but for the price and features I highly recommend.

Sony 7.2 Home Theatre Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Pioneer receiver went unexpectedly on the blink. I picked the Sony after some research and the features. While the family room that is the main viewing area is only 400 sq. Ft with 10ft ceilings this unit easily fills the space with sound. Adequate inputs and a breeze to set up speaker balance, room size etc. I believe our sound is better than before, Size is compact. Matches virtually any decor. For an inexpensive receiver you will not be disappointed. Sony has a winner with this unit

Great sound for a great price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect replacement for my Bose Lifestyle System, which failed after 13 years. I was able to use the Bose speakers, which worked perfectly with the Sony receiver. I added 2 Sony subwoofers and the Sony Dolby Atmos speakers. Everything connected easily and the sound far surpasses my previous setup. The Sony receiver has matching ports with my newer TV. The Sony equipment is very price competitive and works as advertised.

Powerful Clear Audio, Easy Setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great 7.2 receiver, the menu and configuration is a bit difficult to understand / very basic, but considering the price point its not that bad. Great clear and loud sound on all channels, it integrates with my samsung TV via an eARC HDMI cable so that I can adjust the volume of the receiver with the TV remote! Very convenient! If you buy this receiver make sure you connect it to your TV's eARC/ARC port (if supported)

Excellent Replacement System
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With a little guidance from a well informed sales rep, I purchased this Sony to replace the dead receiver of a 5.1 small-room system. Setup was quick and easy. Not only did we experience excellent 5.1 sound, but image quality on the screen was markedly improved. Overall, this was a very good choice.

Good once set up
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good system paired with core series speakers and front atmos speakers. The receiver was on sale for $299 and all the speakers were half price which makes the setup a great value under a grand. The only issue I had was that the easy setup that launches upon initial setup does not set up the inputs for the best sound and picture. You need to go into the amp menu and make the changes manually. The good thing is that it's explained how to do this in the manual.
