Posted .Hello ABsony,
Thank you for the review. We always recommend to use speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge. These are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an AV receiver. Your new receiver supports the latest three-dimensional surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, drawing you into the middle of the action you see on screen. And with 4K Ultra HD picture quality, and support for all major HDR formats including Dolby Vision t, your viewing experience will be transformed. You’re in for quite the cinematic upgrade! Thank you for choosing Sony!

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.

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver makes our speakers sound AMAZING! It replaced our previous Sony receiver so we already knew the about the quality. But the sound we receive makes me feel like I'm in a real movie theatre. It has several ports so you can plug in several speakers.

Great receiver I hope
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although I haven’t used it yet. I’m hoping that it’s a great receiver. Haven’t set it up yet since I’m still deciding on a tv to set it up with. After watching many reviews on it I decided to buy this receiver after the many positive reviews and for the price.

Does the job better than imagined
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought that spending less than $400 for a good receiver was unheard of. But this Sony is giving more than I bargained for. The sound, the multifaceted interfaces, and the quality I get with the Sony brand leaves me speechless.

Awesome budget atmos receiver

Good for the money
