Great receiver for entry level
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is pretty good for entry level. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but works great. It does get a little warm, but hasn't been a problem for me. Highly recommend if you want a budget receiver.

Good Unit with Some Reservations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good unit that could be much better with very little effort from Sony, such as better connections for speaker wire, longer setup microphone cable, better remote, setup procedure needs tweaking.

Easy setup, awesome sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system was easy to setup and has awesome sound. I had another sound system but wanted to simplify, with one remote access. You still need the other remote for sound adjustments. But the more I get used to the system, I don’t adjust.
I would recommend this to a friend Good unit if you can get it on sale
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good, bought it to go along with the Sony A80j television eARC capability. Took me a bit to figure out how to get the 2 to work together, would have been easier if the Sony Reciever had come with a phone app like some of the other brands so you can see how the input is being processed. I liked the lower profile of the unit compared to some of the other offerings but the surround output is a little limited vs the other brands which were about $50 more on sale but the unit fits my needs.

Great Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Sony 590 for music but the 790 is far better. I switched them out and put the 790 on my media surround sound as it has more features. Great price & super easy to operate.
