Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a replacement radio since my Optimus 3770 stereo bit the dust - no sound. set up was pretty straight forward, no unpleasant surprises. Works will with the connected tape deck, cd player and phonograph player

Had all the features I needed at a fair price. Setup was a piece of cake. Synced to my Sony TV with no issues. If it's on sale, it's worth it.

It's a nice sounding receiver. Replaced an older 1080p model sony and I for sure notice a difference. Just wish it allowed the PS5 to do HDR but it doesn't. I had to go direct to tv and run the optical from TV to receiver again but apparently its the case with most receivers apparently only select few are PS5 compatible. Almost returned it until I learned that. Still sounds incredible with the apple tv and it goes into dolby 4k mode no problem that way. Sounds 10x better now that I can actually hear what dolby atmos sounds like. Well kinda I also learned to truly enjoy atmos you must have atmos compatible speakers. Figures. Never ends. I shall return sony with more money next time but for now this will do.

This is the third one of these I have purchased not because they were bad just because of doing upgrades over the years. These have been the best by far. Love the set up, features and quality!

Well overall I have been happy with this product. However, I did have to return this product after the first month because it kept shutting off. The store was very understanding. I was 6 days past the return date but they returned the product with no issue and provided me with a new one. So far the new one has had no problems and I like the sound it provides. Kudos to Best Buy for great customer service.

This system sounds AMAZING!!! Pretty easy to setup and use. The interface does lack a little in the “visually pleasing” department. The menus are not the prettiest but it does work and has impressive sound so not a deal breaker. Also be aware this system does not work with a passive sub. You must have a powered subwoofer for it to work.

Sony makes many great products, including this home theater receiver. Plenty of power, easy to setup and install. The menus that are available after initial setup are a little weak, not much to do there. But it works seemlessly with my Roku and Sony OLED TV.

I really love this receiver. It is the brain really and an integral part of my entertainment system. I have my TV and PS4, wired up, and my tablet, computer, portable Bose speaker (not all the time), and my laptop wirelessly hooked up. It's a nice simple sleek straightedge design, only has two knobs and very user friendly. It produces great sound by using functions for different types of scenarios. It's easy to balance your speakers, and once you get all of your speakers hooked up, then balance out your system. It will help you on your tv screen if you have it hooked up that way. I love just having to grab my ps4 controller and push just one button, and in a few minutes like probably not even 1 minute, on comes the ps4, the Sony receiver, my TV switching out automatically to the correct tv input, and tada, your ready to play your game without ever getting off the couch. And when your sister wants to watch TV, grab the Sony Receiver remote, and hit the button that is labeled TV. Again, wait a few minutes/seconds and there you go, her favorite camp getaway show or whatever she watches appears magically along with the killer surround sound. Very intuitive receiver. I would buy again.

Coming over from a Denon AVRS 720 W and was worried that the sound quality wouldn’t be as good given that this is a budget priced receiver. Happy to report that it is actually better sounding especially once you do the automatic speaker range test set up. I have this paired with my old Bose acoustimass system and it’s never sounded better. More separation, larger sound stage. Balance in the lows and highs are far more controlled. Only downside is that it does not have an on screen display menu. That said, it’s very easy to navigate the remote.

I couldn’t believe the power I could actually get out of this. It sounds just as good as my $899 denon but for almost half the price. The calibration was very simple! Probably the most user-friendly receiver you can buy..

Easy to connect. The auto setup function for the suround sound works well. Instuction manual easy to follow. I suggest connecting it to the TV via the HDMI this also helps with the setup. Sound is great if paird with decent speakers.

Overall I gave this product 5 stars. It’s super easy to setup, sound quality is great. Automatically switches inputs when I power on one of my gaming consoles. Automatically turns on and off when I power my tv on or off. There are just 2 things I wish were better. There is no testing for the speakers and you have to cycle through the different sound fields. So, if you accidentally pass the one you want you have to cycle all the way back to it.

I saved over $100 getting this open box. The receiver came in the box, with all the accessories and manuals. I was definitely surprised that the open box was labeled as Satifactory and not better but that worked well for me. Aside from some super light and unnoticeable scratches on the front led panel ( I mean like 4 or 5 ultra light nitpick with a flashlight at an angle scratches) everything was perfect. Performance wise the receiver has been great. Setting it up was easy and quick with the microphone. It’s outputting the audio really well and the Dolby Atmos is awesome. It does upscale non-Atmos audio so that’s a nice touch but if you don’t want that there’s options to remove it. As an entry level receiver this sure does a great job. It’s capable of a 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos setup or a 5.1, 5.2, 7.1 or 7.2 setup so if you’re looking for a 4 ceiling speaker Dolby Atmos setup then rule this receiver out. I’m just really happy with the purchase and I hope I helped you decide.

I was looking to upgrade my cheap $100 system with something a little more professional. This is what we landed on. If you’re looking for a slight improvement over your tv’s internal speakers, look elsewhere and save yourself a lot of money. If you want a more intense movie experience, this is the way to go. This system accompanied with high res speakers will give you the sound you’ve been missing. I purchased this hoping to eventually use the full 7.1 speaker setup. Until then, our 5.1 setting has been a vast improvement. With 4 hdmi inputs, Bluetooth, and up to 7.2 speaker configuration, this is exactly what you need for your home theater. The onscreen setup also simplifies the set up process and eliminates the guess work of abbreviated prompts on the front display. If you’re looking for true surround sound, don’t skimp. Buy this one.

Works great. Replaced my older receiver and this sound is amazing for the price. I recommend it. Easy to use automatically selects best sound. Easy setup too.

Great sound. And great features. Good receiver for surround sound

Great stereo for home theater. We also bought one for our gym and one for our office!

My 24 year old Sony receiver died recently after many faithful years of music and movies. It was a sad day. Services were held at my nearby Best Buy. Naturally I went straight for another Sony! I thought about spending more but I couldn't justify getting 9.1 or whatever because I just don't have the space for that many speakers. This nifty little unit completely fit the bill! While not as loaded with extras as some of the pricier models it simply gets the job done flawlessly. I don't think I would have been happier if I would have spent more. While my previous Sony AV receiver was higher end (meaning I spent way more) the technology has evolved dramatically in 24 years! The out of the box surround modes are vastly improved, even in 5.1 mode. Before I added the Atmos speakers the sounds seemed to come from ALL directions. After adding the height speakers it is simply a 3D audio experience. What more could you ask for? Music is as bright and punchy as ever (sorry neighbors). It took me no time at all to dial in great sound quality for all my my favorite tunes and films. The onscreen interface is very basic, but it is much more fun than being over complicated. No more fumbling in the dark looking for the right buttons to push! The remote is also simple and easy to use. Amen! While I do miss some of the high end features of my previous Sony I am completely satisfied with the audio end result that is much better than I ever expected. I'm also happy I didn't have to part with a lot more Ben Franklins to get it! Thanks again Sony!!!

I've had it for about a month now and Its been great thus far. Its simple, easy to setup, plays nice with 4K HDMI sources. I was used to 5.1 system before, but decided to go for the 7.2 and am happy I did, it just fills the room better.

WOW!!! This receiver/amp pack a wallop with crystal clear sound and clean power!
