Back to the basics
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good Value for features.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Unfortunately, It has no phono input and theTHD is 1.0.. The Th.D. Is the same as my Pioneer.D1S that I bought in nineteen ninety two which has a hundred and thirty watts per channel.. So I have returned This unit And will search for something that has a lower total homonic, distortion and more inputs...

Great sound system
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome home theater system. It is a very good system no matter what you are listening to. It says 7.2 and has connections for 7.2 but the setup and all information in the system settings does not give you anything for the two subs only the one but that is a minor issue. It is very loud if you want it to be and is clear with no distortion. Great sound system for the money.

Awesome Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Receiver, the surround sound through the speaker is excellent. I had an Elite Pioneer receiver that I loved that were having some audio issues. The store didn’t have a lot of product to choose from so I picked Sony which I have had before.

Decent Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A decent receiver for the holiday price. Even with the online manuel printed, a few features aren't completely clear. I will have to Google some things, but overall it routes the tv signal the way it should. It has a few quirks here and there but nothing big. My theater setup is 5.1.2, using compatible Sony speakers, and it sounds great. Overall, with the holiday price of the complete system, I am happy with it.

Good (But Kinda Confusing) Atmos Option
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is nice, but could have used easier to understand instructions for a few key features. I still haven't figured out how to set it up with 2 subwoofers correctly. Setting up the various surround options is easy enough though. The audio modes it has to be on for your surround to work correctly are also a little confusing to understand, especially for anyone that isn't fluent in current home theater tech.
