Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Catch it on sale for under $300 and you can’t find a better value for a 7 channel a/v receiver. I use for five channel Dolby tv and the other two channels for outdoor stereo in two locations. Clean 145w per channel and HDR 4K pass through also.

I would recommend this to a friend Shutting down and Clicking sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in December 2022 and were able to enjoy it for slightly over a year. Started randomly shutting off initially and come back on as normally would. Then progressed to shutting off and started clicking sound at this point wouldn't come back on at all. I highly suggest Best Buy protection plan for any electronics that you buy. Sent in for diagnostic and they notified me it was approved for replacement. I won't purchase this one again.

Just a couple of things
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two issues with this fine AVR. First, attempts to simplify controls has made them more complex. Second, the lack of a PHONO jack made connecting my turntable an engineering exercise I had not planned on doing. Otherwise, this AVR works flawlessly, as did the SONY receiver it replaced, after 26 years.
