An awesome all around sound system!

It’s awesome! Allows me to play music through the provided antenna, Bluetooth from my phone or even hooks up to my TV and DVR! It’s just all around awesome!

Thanks!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome, thanks! 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.

Sony Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great receiver only problem is if you crank it over 50 for to long it over heats and shuts down. But luckily i don't crank it that high.

Pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent receiver. Replaces an old Yamaha receiver which was much better, had much more variations in sound choices and filters, This does the job though, was pretty expensive for what you get

Very good receiver for my surround sound system
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had been searching web sites for a decent receiver when I saw this Sony model on sale at Best Buy. Specs seemed to match my requirements. They did not have it in stock at the first store I went to but they directed me to another Best Buy that was only 15 miles away. Brought it home and set it up that day. Works great.

Wonderful Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received was easy to set up and works like a champ!
I would recommend this to a friend Affordable and Works Well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an older Marantz that began having problems with the ARC pass through and chose this Sony to replace it since I did not have $800 plus for an up to date Marantz. This Sony meets my needs. My only criticism is that only the front L/R speaker connections accommodate my banana plugs and I have to use bare wires for all the others.

Good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am happy with it. It is basic the same as 5.2 the receiver but this one has 7.2. More features and bigger receiver. It is better than pioneer I owned and it broke in a few days to exchange this Sony. Very simple calibration and set it to forget it. Pioneer is more complex calibration

Great Receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can't beat this Receiver for the price. It has almost all the bells and whistles that you could want but at heart it does a very good job on decoding the incoming signals. I have not problems with eARC connections and overall it just does a great job. Highly recommended.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a awesome receiver. This is my first Sony one. I normally buy Yamaha.
I would recommend this to a friendGood TV, some issues with WiFi and motion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV has excellent color and good image resolution, but the Smart TV function varies between 4K and 1080p without notice and oddly. There are some issues with motion since it seems blurred too often compared to an LG that I had before. Other than that it needs to be more responsive to WiFi and more stable overall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood equipment
