    Replacement for my previous Sony receiver which had an issue with the power. This replacement for the Sony STR-DN1080 (no longer made by Sony) has most of the same inputs, but not all. The Best Buy Technician did a great job in setting it up.

    After one week HDMI arc failed with connection to Roku Ultra. Tried different HDMI cables still no pic. Thought it might have been the Roku, no Roku worked fine on another TV. Also some speaker connectionslike height,center, & surround did not have banana connections but old fashion wire clip connectors.
