    This products works great sbd it has enchanced my hearing experience with movies . The problem is it should included the digital cord required to plug into the sound system or at least identify that you need it.

    Much easier to install and operate than predecessor. No speakers included and connection for woofer is different from previous receiver, so could not use my old one. Consequently, could not review bass response. Good value for the price.

    Needed new receiver as new Samsung 75" has a eARC in/out. The sound is great, lots of tuning for all the options. I am using it as 5.1 for now, don't know where to put the +2 side speakers.

    This was a little confusing to set up after hooking it up to all our speakers. It works really well but between the different apps, the volume does fluctuate a lot. This is great though, definite improvement from our last one.

    This sony is terrific. The only problem has been Best buy over rated the watts/channel as sony lists it a 90 vs Best buy's advert of 145W. Thus we aren't able to drive the channels as effectively at low volume.
