Great sound in a compact package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the size and look of the unit. It is more compact than the Denon for the same price, and it has better menus and more connectivity and sound processing options. The only drawback is the HDMI seems to always default to the TV instead of the media player, but that might be me not having it set up correctly or Sony pushing it's own TV products. Not sure yet.

Great receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded my home theater with this and bery pleased with the results. Simple hookup and user friendly
I would recommend this to a friend I bought this since I wanted to try out the atmos
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I puchased this for the atmos sound , it really sounds good when playing an atmos or dolby demo off the internet. Small ll improvement over my yamaha reciever when in atmos but since there isnt anything streamed or on cable that utiizes it as of yet except demo clips Im not to impressed. If you are in need of a good reciever for the first time its worth it but as far as an upgrad,e to atmos its only marginal upgrade
