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.

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!

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.

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.

Best price for a 4K you will ever PAY !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely good price for a 4k 7.2 Ch Sony Receiver. I have like 6 in-ceiling speaker and a center channel speaker hooked up to it. I got the speakers from Amazon Micca company and they sound amazing ! I paired all them of with klipsch subwoofer and it sounds like super expensive movie theater surround sound. There are so many option for movie, music, and speech you pic. Bluetooth music with phone is pretty easy to use also.

Good entry level receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to use. The audio quality is Ok but I wouldn't call it great compared to more expensive models. Still for those not interested in spending a lot of time optimizing their audio and just want a receiver that works. This does just fine. My only big gripe is that there seems to be a delay in remote commands and periodically the receiver will claim it doesn't detect the video input even though you can see the video coming in.
