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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
