Very nice.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy. Alot of reviews say good for beginners but dropping 600 plus on something is a commitment. I could have went down a few models but I figured if I'm in I am in! Plus a there's room for growing my system now. Sound bars have let me down to many times. If you have a nice TV don't you want a nice audio. It's big though. Make sure you have space.

Sony Receiver Installation to new Samsung 58" TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the Receiver works great...but I did not get rid of 3 remotes out by my Recliner! I have TV, Audio for this unit, and DVD player remote, and Cable remote! The Techs installing didn't tell me about the Universal Remote! So now I guess I have to buy one or stay with the 2 most used ones near me! Overall Service was fast and almost efficient.

Good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this receiver is a steal. The Geek squad installed this with a surround sound set-up, It has performed better than expected and at par with the Yamaha receivers. Hopefully, thi receiver will last longer than the Yamaha's. I bought 2 Yamaha receivers and they only lasted for about a year and a half. The Yamaha were about more expensive than this receiver.

Great Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great upgrade to my 10 year old receiver. Had some issues updating it, but after a couple of days figured it out. Would have assumed it was already updated since the firmware came out 4 months prior. I love the new features and it is 4K and 3D pass through. My volume now shows on my tv so I do not have to squint my eyes trying to see what volume it is on. And now with firmware update I can add Dolby Atmos speakers.

Great Atmos Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the STR-590 for the Atmos capability and it was well worth it! Immersive sound for movies and balanced and rich sound if listening to music. Great do-it-all unit. I've noticed it's more intuitive than the 590 when switching inputs.

Nice sounds easy hook up and use

Fairly easy hook up, great sound. Love the bluetooth feature connecting to my iphone. Dials for TV/Game/Music/etc adjust easily with remote. I control volume with TV remote or iphone. Reasonable price for all the feature at under $400.

Great feature set for the cash.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is the setting menus in the system. They are just not user friendly, one feature that I was happy with was being able to adjust the bass for the FL and FR channels. I have a set of vintage tower speakers, and other receivers would not push them. I now can fell them close to as much as my powered sub.

New Sony AVR.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a 15 year old Yamaha AVReciever. The sound of this Sony is fantastic. It has three zones and set up was a little complicated but the Geek aSquad came through. Glad I’m a total tech member.
