Posted .Hi USA76, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're very happy to hear it works great with your PS5 and Xbox Series X. You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Once you take advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, combined with 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2 support, there is no going back! Be sure to take advantage of the flexibility of 6- in/2-out HDMI and multi-room listening, plus voice control powered by Google Home. Don’t forget our Phantom rear surround channels can transform your five-channel system into a seven- channel system too! Glad to know everything has been taken care of. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Great Value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced a Yamaha receiver with this Sony. I am only using 5.1 for now, but the sound is super clean even when I crank up the volume. Nothing was wrong with the Yamaha I just wanted to upgrade to a receiver that would support 4K. For the price and sound quality you could do a lot worse. Recommend! FYI the remote control could use more functions.

Very Decent A/V Home Theater Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an older Sony 4K receiver that suddenly started acting up and having issues. I was considering replacing it with a sound bar but I have some really good speakers that I did not want to lose. I looked at all the different options and thought that I would try this one. It was on sale at that time - so that was a huge plus. So far it has been working really well and I can't complain about it. It actually was a pretty major upgrade from the older unit that I had. It's a lot simpler to use.

Best Value for Money
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best value for money receiver out there if you want to have the capability to utilize dolby atmos currently or in the future. Setup was simple, the menu is nothing fancy but with the auto calibration feature it's difficult to mess it up. I bought an "excellent condition" open box from best buy and the only thing missing was the auto calibration microphone. Luckily I was referred to this product by a friend so I was able to borrow his to utilize the feature.

Great Sony receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Sony receiver, we bought this to upgrade the wired 7.2 home theater speaker system we already own to match the technology of our new LG OLED TV. The seamless functionality of this receiver is a huge leap forward compared to our ten year old Yamaha receiver. This is the second one in our home, first one was purchased approximately a year ago. We really enjoy our Sony receivers, and highly recommend it.

Good value, but had to return mine.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didnt display video when plugged devices into it. Worked fine for my surround / audio as a receiver otherwise. It's cheap and you get what you pay for. Barebones audio receiver. Good value for the price but had to return mine because of video issue above.

UI is bad, but everything else is great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this unit for months, and I'm really happy with it. This unit does everything I need, and using ARC makes everything painless and I never have to even turn it on, it just sets the appropriate input and power state as needed (thank goodness). The UI is really clunky and looks awful like most Sony products, but the quality and functionality is what's most important to me- and like most Sony products this delivers on that front.

What A Upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is fantastic! My 10+ year old Yamaha receiver crashed and decided on the Sony based on the specs. I have a 3.1 channel set up and the Front Surround setting gives the feeling of being in a 5.1 set up. The 4K UHD pass through is a big upgrade feature for amazing picture quality when using the 4K HDMI cables. I use the Bluetooth to play albums from my Bluetooth turntable. I am very happy with this Sony receiver!

Excellent sound. Easy to setup and use.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced a 12 year old unit that was fair. Never could get the last two speakers in the rear to work. Wow. What a difference. All 7 speakers and sub woofer fully active in surround sound. Helicopters fly across the room. Sound system puts you right in the thick of things. Highly recommend ... Sony's no baloney.
