Does what it needs to
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this guy up to replace my 25 year old Kenwood receiver that finally died. Only running this at 2.1 right now as that's all the old Kenwood was capable of but will be adding to it in the very near future. Love that the bluetooth auto connects once paired to a device.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I took a chance and tried to match this with my Sony TV and it was great while it lasted, but I think this will be the last time I buy a Sony audio product. I got approximately one year of use out of this before it went into protect mode. Went back to my old Yamaha while this one is getting repaired. What a disappointment because their TVs are second to none.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this “open box - excellent” however when it was delivered it didn’t have the remote, which is required for setup so I returned it and purchased the 5.2 model new in-store. The 5.2 works great so I assume this 7.2 does too.
