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.

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.

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.

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.

Great receiver for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great reciever for the price. Surround is so much better than my previous 1999 Sony! Only issue is the wire connectivity on the rear does not allow push in plugs..only bare wire. Total Tech did a great job setting it up.
