Works as expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned a Sony receiver before so I had good expectations. This model has been just what I expected and I have had no problems with it. Install was easy and it sounds great!
I would recommend this to a friend Great starter receiver
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is jot the top of the line amplifier, but probably the cheapest 7.2 you can get. I have purchased 2 of them and I like it so far. If you’re building your first setup I recommend this receiver. If you‘re an audiophile and can differentiate the minor details in the audio quality, you should probably audition before buying one. Build quality is great, features are more than enough for a starter setup.
