Good unit for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this to replace a Pioneer unit that had issues. It's a good unit for the price but still has inherent issues that many home theater amps do. Unit will mute itself after power up. Don't know why. Has an issue with the HDCP 'handshake" between cable box and monitor that many units have. Otherwise a good unit for the price. Very good picture and sound.

Sony amplifier
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound . Able to control volume of each speaker from the remote which is great during football games when you want to hear the band and not so much all the talking from the play by play. The only cons are when I turn on the system, the tv and cable box come on but the audio go to tv and not the cable box. Then when I turn the system off, the amplifier turns off but then turns itself back on. Had the geek squad install the new sony but it is a minor inconvenience to manually turn sony on and off.

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.

Great for those that are building a budget theater
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great entry-level home theater unit. Sony is still using those dang wire clips, but outside of that my complaints are limited to the following: - plastic knobs feel cheap, too much travel too feel tactile - no integrated streaming
