- Pros mentioned:4k hdr10, Easy to set up
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before this I was using they best entry level Sony 1080 receiver. With more movies now including atmos and dts x audio tracks , it was time to upgrade to a receiver that could support 7.4.1. Very easy to use and set up unlike the pioneer elite 901. It will require use of an external amp to power the rear height effects, but the on screen set up guides you through the proper hook up. The 4 k pass through is improved over the 1080. Prior to, I was sending video directly to the TV set and using the secondary hdmi out on the Sony es 4K. It does have output for two subwoofers but they are not individually recognized.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:No app support, No bluetooth

Lacking
||Posted .

Your search ends right here.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No reason to spend more than this receiver. Having previously had a garbage arcam that broke after 3 years (I don't care what arcam fixed now, theres NO excuse for a $4,000 receiver to break and so many people have problems. So its not just an isolated incident) Having the same exact setup, this Sony blows its socks off. With Sony's 5 year warranty shows they have supreme confidence in this receivers build quality. If its in your budget look no further and pick this thing up. You won't be disappointed. The recent $600 price cut definitely makes this a no brainer!

What experts are saying
Q: Questionwhat is the difference between network-ready & pass-throught in home theater receivers
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Network Ready-Simply connect the receiver to your home network via Ethernet, and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes music from your connected wireless device or networked computer. The HDMI Pass through feature lets you output the HDMI signal (audio/video) from a Blu-ray Disc, cable box, satellite receiver or other source device to the TV even when the receiver is in standby mode.
