Powerful Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really easy to set up, great value for what you get. The automated balancing system worked excellent and balanced my speaker outputs and EQ very well, which solved the issue of my center channel overpowering my mains. The bluetooth connection is strong, too. I am using it for music and 5.1 setup, bouncing between stereo and 5.1 is a breeze.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, takes a few minutes to fully set up, but was well worth the effort. Bought this one for myself after buying the similar 5.1-Ch unit for my daughter. Is working with well with anything I have connected to it. FM antenna connect is odd but works.

I would recommend this to a friend Great Sony receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect receiver to handle anything. After having several issues with another brand receiver, I went back to Sony and found it to have more features at a lower cost. It is perfect for handling the speakers in my home theater and the program was downloaded to my remote by the Geek Squad for complete one touch operation.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love this receiver. I had a problem with my old one the volume had a mind of its own. But, its nice to sit and control it with a remote. Sound is great. The problems I have is trying to setup the right speaker configuration and when I turn it on I have to use the remote to get rid of the screens for my cable and tv. Otherwise we love it

Posted .Hi Theresa,
We are sorry to hear what happen. You can adjust the level of each speaker (front left/right, center, subwoofer, surround left/right, surround back left/right and height left/right).
1. Select [Speaker Setting] from the home menu
2. Press UP, and then press LEFT / RIGHT repeatedly to select [Level]
3. Press UP / DOWN to select the speaker you want to adjust, then press center button.
4. Press UP / DOWN to adjust the level, then press center button.
NOTE: You can also adjust the level of each speaker from the “<LEVEL>” menu on the display panel
Happy to help,
David

Upgraded from old receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not only that all the new gadgets have HDMI connections (previous all were RCA) but the Bluetooth feature makes it so easy to stream. The great sound quality coming out of my Polk Audio speakers is more enjoyable now. Price was right. I chose this one in particular because the space I have on my entertainment center is only 6 inches high. Most nowadays are a lot higher. Perfect fit.

Great entry level Atmos receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've really enjoyed this receiver. We have it paired with a Sony OLED and they work great together. We're running a 5.2.2 system for now and all the speakers sound great. Setup is a little dated but it works well once you figure it out. Would definitely recommend as an entry level Atmos receiver
