Great Atmos & DTS X Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver! Takes some tinkering, but overall, love it. Plus you can not beat the price. Prices of receivers have dramatically jumped up in price, so this is great starting point. It's Atmos & DTS x capable The menus can be a but challenging, but you will get the hang of it. Definitely recommend this product.

Great receiver for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re getting into buying av equipment this is a good stepping stone. Bought this for the 4K hdr pass through and works great. I was able to set this up as a 5.2.2 Atmos. No issues with sound or video dropping. I have my ps4 pro, Apple TV 4K and Sony 4K Blu Ray player connected and switching between them is seen less with the dedicated buttons on remote for each input.

5.0.2 Atmos Set-up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome receiver, love the way it integrates with my X90J TV. I am using it in a 5.0.2 set-up in a small room. Great sound, great speaker distance adjustments. If you love to hear dialog just turn the center speaker up and be amazed.

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...

Good Receiver for the average Home Entertainment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup but connections options could be better. Banana plugs for only the front speakers which could make it difficult for wires bigger than 14 guage. Sound is good but compared to my old Onykyo without 4K it was subpar. Seems to connect with other devices better and easier to operate changes and the remote.
I would recommend this to a friend Sony 7.2 Receiver replacing 13 year old Sony 7.1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 7.2 receiver to replace our old Sony 7.1 was very easy to setup and use. We are now enjoying what we missed when it was determined that our front and rear speakers had failed in our older system. Double checked that the speakers were good before purchasing the Sony 7.2.
