      Hi Andrew,

      Awesome! Your new receiver supports the latest three-dimensional surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, drawing you into the middle of the action you see on screen. And with 4K Ultra HD picture quality, and support for all major HDR formats including Dolby Vision, your viewing experience will be transformed. You’re in for quite the cinematic upgrade! Thank you for choosing Sony.

    On Nov. 18, I ordered this receiver as an open box/excellent condition item. It was shipped promptly, and received on Nov.20th. I unboxed it and hooked it up this morning (Nov.22). I should have simply plugged it in first. But noooo, I was excited and connected all the speakers/HDMI inputs and plugged in the speaker calibration mic first. Plugged in the receiver, turned on, and Nothing ! New batteries in remote - check. I tried to turn it on directly from the receiver - nothing. I disconnected all the inputs and moved the receiver to a different outlet - nothing ! I think someone returned this item and it truly wasn't inspected. Now I see no more open box/excellent items available. Looks like I'll be returning and waiting to see what Black Friday brings for sales. Really bummed..
