Great receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy hook up and easy To operate and switch between TV, DVR, radio and so forth and I like the volume control as well
I would recommend this to a friend Speaker configuration
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My biggest issue with this unit is configuring the speaker(s) using the Sony speaker calibration system: (1) too noisy (2) certain speakers will not play if your speaker setup does not match the Sony speaker pattern via 5.1, or 7.2, installed exactly like the diagram etc. The best option was to turn off the calibration system within the setup app after several attempts to follow the Sony instructions without using Sony speakers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Edouble, We appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, The speakers emit very loud noise during the
measurement and the volume cannot be adjusted. For accurate measurement, make sure the environment is quiet and free from noise. The Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.) is designed to achieve proper sound balance for your room. You can also adjust the speaker levels manually. Thanks for choosing Sony. -Sam
