UBP-X800-M2 volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a Sony UBP-X800-M2 4k Blu-Ray player, don't expect the volume control on the Blu-Ray remote to directly control this receiver volume. I was able to get the Blu-Ray remote to control the TV volume, which in turn was able to control the amp volume via the HDMI cable. On a side note, it does not cause my subwoofer to hum when the receiver is powered off as other amps do.

Great 4k receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say this receiver has good sound and the picture coming through are really good especially if you have a 4k TV also I had an strg825 before this one the only thing I miss is the wifi updates through the internet.
I would recommend this to a friend Typical Sony Quality, Excellent TV Overall
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is great. Even without local dimming it still manages uniform and deep blacks quite well. I’d describe the viewing angle as a little narrow but it’s perfectly fine for most rooms. In my experience Sony builds quality, and this is no different. We are thrilled with the purchase!

Easy Set Up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this and a higher powered Onkyo for my home theatre set up... Onkyo had a more full sound at certain volumes but was hard to set up and get accurate sound at lower volumes. This sony is better at creating realistic sound at any volume.
I would recommend this to a friend Great bang for buck
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best budget receiver on the market. Has everything you need unless you need HDMI 2.1 support, and is extremely affordable. The remote sucks, but otherwise great.

Easy setup is actually easy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I'm very happy, mostly wth the ease of setup. I had prucased a 5.1 Onkyo receiver and gave up setting it up after three hours. I'd either get no video from my inputs, no sound, or both. After trying numerous options, I packed it up. I purchased this 7.1 receiver for $130 less and it checked off all the boxes. After I plugged everything it, it took me 15 minutes to get it working. The easy setup for speaker calibration was actually easy, and it told me that my subwoofer wasn't working properly. Duh, I didn't turn it on. I'kk revisit after I get a chance to properly use it, but I am so happy that it is up and running.
