    I am a die-hard Pioneer guy. After my center channel went out on my 15 yr old Pioneer I needed a new one. I needed a lower profile to fit in my entertainment center. I bought this Sony and I am very happy. It was easy to setup and has great sound in 5.1. I haven't tried the 7.2 yet. It isn't a sound pounding receiver but does put out quality sound. I bought an open box at BB and added the 4 year warranty. I am happy with my choice. I was also looking at the Onkyo but due the the height I bought this one. No regrets.

    These receivers are powerful enough to drive my tower front speakers with two 8" woofers, 6" midrange, and tweeters, 5 other speakers in a 7.2 setup plus 2 powered subwoofers. My biggest worry was if I'd have enough power to even hear the speakers. LOL! There is enough power to blow you out of the house with smooth no distortion sound. Personally, I don't need some of the extras. My 65 in" Samsung TV has all of the streaming capabilities and with youtube TV, I really don't need anything else. I think these 7.2 Dolby Atmos receivers are coming down in price because the companies plan to string the 9 channel receivers and sell those cheaper than they do presently. Now for the bad news. My receiver always would lock up on the sound calibration test and after 2 weeks, I kept getting error messages concerning the rear surround channel. What a shame, it is a killer unit other than these flaws, so this unit must go back. These are selling like hotcakes everywhere, so somebody is getting good ones.

      Hi bigmike,

      We are sorry to hear what happen. To isolate the issue, please rewire the speaker wires and try again. We also recommend using speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. We encourage you to make use of our many online resources to help with questions regarding your Sony product.

    I needed a receiver to replace an older moldel. As technology advanced, my previous equipment wasn't sufficient to watch HD streaming videos. Though this one did not have dual zones like my other one, it still gives me the ability to watch movies in surround sound in our living room. The price was reasonable and with my rewards points I saved another $150, so it was a good deal.

    After 3 weeks of use, so far so good. sound quality is good. Auto calibration was ok. It was a little soft on the rear speakers. I'm only running a 5.1 setup so no ATMOS to judge it on. EARC is working well. My Roku manages power on/off and volume control with no issues. I do wish the screen had more info but it will overlay menus on the tv screen for most functions.
