Great sound quality & easy set-up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Sony receiver to replace my Onkyo receiver that I bought 10 years ago. This receiver works great with my Samsung TV and it's much cheaper than an Onkyo receiver. It was very easy to set-up and the sound quality is amazing. I've had the receiver for 2 months and haven't had any issues thus far.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second one of this same model and it’s great! 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 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.

Good quality receiver for the money!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, this is an excellent receiver. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but what it does have is excellent tone, and surround separation. Want a good solid quality receiver, I highly recommend it. Not like the binding wires that are clips in the back, however it may be easier for some.

Nice receiver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver seems to do its job, we haven’t had many hiccups we have it attached to a LG tv and it’s set up using ARC, it just seems at times it fails to switch properly. The only issue I had was that when using with our xfinity cable box you don’t get many surround sound features but if we use our tv apps or Apple TV it’s amazing.
