Great receiver for everything you need
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this receiver because it was on sale and came to the same price as a 5.1 which what I really needed anyways, but instead I bought this 7.1 so i have room to add on in the future. Installation was simple, sound was great . Great buy !
I would recommend this to a friend 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.

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.
