I would recommend this to a friend Quality entry level Home Theater receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very nice entry level Home Theater receiver. Self-calibration feature works well and is very useful. It would have been nice to have a switched plug on the unit so that I could turn off everything (including my TV) with one button. But that's a quibble. Got an open box at a great price.

Sony 7.2 system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid modern day upgrade to the Sony 5.1 I've had for close to 20 years. The Bluetooth pairing works just fine to stream media. The 4k passthrough is great. Obviously you'll need to purchase appropriate HDMI cables for passthrough. Install is just as easy as any other amplifier.

I was a little 'old fashioned' when trying it out, but it has all the functions (even MORE than my last receiver) with less wire spaghetti. Definitely follow the Quick Set-Up instruction sheet.
