Not too bad for a Sony
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good receiver for the price, just a couple of issues. The audio source keeps changing for some unknown reason, and the calibration mic is not working. The sound quality is on par with the 10-year-old Yamaha that it replaced.

Sony - 7.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD A/V Home Theater Rece
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it is working fine. The only issue is my Harmony multi remote doesn't work with the unit except to turn it on and off. Also each time I turn the unit on it makes me go through the setup procedure before I can just watch my TV. I do like the sound and the options for the sound to my speakers.

I Bought this unit for its ability to pass 4K!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 50 years in broadcasting I have become very picky about video quality... After I upgraded my TV to a 4K unit I needed to upgrade my receiver to one that would pass 4K video. I picked this Sony unit and am very pleased with its performance. It has great sound quality at a reasonable price...I WON!

Easy set up but control not intuitive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found setting you the system to my speakers and my multiple add-on boxes with no problem. I do have a problem with setting up the sound options. I have to play with the remote to get the correct sound setting I want for my different inputs. - this may just me - I just don't find it intuitive.
