||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price ... but didn't like that there was only one set of speaker connections with plug in capability (I have a 7.2 setup). I was able to get my precious setup to work again ... shook I ended yo returning this product (originally was going to keep for a backup, but due to the connectors being old style, I decided to return it for a refund instead). Very surprised that Sony was using old bare wire connectors, when my 18-20 year old pioneer reciever had the newer plug connection on it!

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Iver used alot of audio products, but for the price this was mediocre at best. Range isnt crazy great and it has a hottible low end volume
I would recommend this to a friendA Solid Receiver for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: * Does as advertised, 4K pass through with HDR * Bluetooth works well * Small unit, fits in small spaces nicely Cons: * Uses spring clip wire holders (but you should know that before buying) * When powering on, it some times shows a very annoying splash screen asking what you want to do. It's unnecessary and adds time to your system startup. * You have to change settings to enable 4K and HDR pass through on each port.
