Great budget receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just decided to upgrade my much older receiver to a 7.2 unit, but wasn't looking to spend a ton of money. This Sony fit the bill nicely. Tons of quality of life upgrades: built in bluetooth, ARC single remote compatibility, quick set up and sound optimization with the set up microphone. The only thing I dislike so far, is specific manual sound configuration on the speakers set up seems a little more convoluted than my previous receiver. Overall, loving it so far though.
