Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit itself is ok. Wish it had a few more hdmi inputs but you get what you pay for. Great price point. That said once setup and everything was connected I attempted to calibrate the speakers with the provided mic only to find that the mic was defective and wasn’t detecting any sound. Thank goodness I had a spare mic from my pioneer elite receiver otherwise I would have been returning it.

Protect Mode Victim
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver just shy of a year and it went into "Protect" Mode and just randomly shuts down. I attempted all troubleshooting - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00032091?utm_source=glean https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/audio-components-receivers-amplifiers/articles/00025095 I'm thankfully under warranty though inconvenienced that i had to disconnect my rig to take it back to best buy and now I'm told 4-6 weeks for repair :( I purchased this receiver to replace my old Sony STR-SE391 - That i bought 24 years ago and still works to the day without being "Protected" lol I had to re-connect the old dog and just wish it had HDMI then i wouldn't have had to upgrade. #Sony please fix this issue!! My fear is that when i get my receiver back from Best Buy repair depot that its going to happen again! I need a reliable receiver and dependable, i record audio and don't need this happening during a session. Thank You, Donnie
