    I was a little disappointed with this receiver, after my old one decided to pass on after 10 years. I thought I would give Sony a try. For the money it provides positive features but the sound is not what I expected. Will keep but keep an eye out for a newer better model.

    The Sony 7.2 channel with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD A/V home theater receiver is a great addition to your home entertainment system. I like the clean, simple menus on the display, plus with the addition of Bluetooth, it makes it easy to connect your gadgets to pipe in music.

    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.
