Great HD audio solution at a good price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this does everything I need it to do. I am using the Earc port on my OLED LG CX in order to get the atmos sound. This unit will not do the 120 frames using the built in video swiching, but that is fine. I only wanted to use this as an audio device.

Love My Sony Home Theater Receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking to replace a Sony HTIB that bit the dust on me after about 15 years. Never owned a receiver before so I was a bit apprehensive. But this thing was a breeze to set up. I'm only running a 5.1 setup at the moment, but I can't wait to add my two height channels to get the full Dolby Atmos experience. I'd definitely recommend this receiver for anyone in the market for one.

solid product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver to replace an old Yamaha which did not have options like 4K. The sound quality is pretty good and I noticed it has the ability to connect 2 subwoofers. It does not have connections for a preamp however. Overall, this is a solid entry lever receiver. My only complaints would be the front display is a bit small and it does not have connections for a power amp.

Great sound for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a more expensive receiver from a few years back. Replaced it with this for better features and control. Even though this was less expensive than what it replaced - it’s performance on surround sound separation, and clarity on voice and punch on bass reveals sounds I didn’t hear before. I’m very happy with it!

Great upgrade from previous reciever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You want sound, than this receiver is where it is at for a good price. Wanted to upgrade my old sony receiver and I'm glad I went with this one. Everything on it is perfect. And for those that say that the Harmony universal remote doesn't work with this unit, then you are doing something wrong. My remote synced up to it with no trouble whatsoever. So I highly recommend this unit if you want superior surround sound.

Great specs from a guy who knows
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got a new 4K TV and my old stereo didn't pass HDR10 or Dolby Vision. This unit has Dolby Atmos. No WIFI for streaming. Need to configure HDMI for enhanced mode. Wish it auto set. Almost took it back not knowing it could be set. My XBox has a video mode check and it showed all modes good. Download Dolby access from the Play Store and set the sound for Dolby Atmos. You'll be happy. This unit is the bomb.

Great Starter or Upgrade Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great upgrade from my previous Sony Receiver. The sound that comes out of this unit is powerful and definitely more immersive. The fact that you can run all your 4K connections through this makes it the perfect media center hub.
