Atmos at a reasonable cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good, cheaper Atmos enabled surround receiver. It works well and is not difficult to set up. It does take a little tinkering though and it has its downsides. However it also doesn’t break the bank and preforms well.

Good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should have bought the more expensive unit. This one sometimes does not automatically switch between assessor it’s like other receivers do. Meaning going from U-verse, to Apple TV or DVD player. But it’s still a nice sounding unit.

90 Watts per channel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Adequate features and quality for the price range.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
