I am very pleased with the ease of use and setup. I was able to adapt my existing components to it. The surround is what I expected great product!

A power house
on May 3, 2014

This machine has all the power I'll ever need for my music room and will hook up almost anything out there today. Turn it down low and it's still clear as a bell, turn it up high and the neighbors want to join the party.

Can't beat this for the price
on May 2, 2013

This is one of the only "low-end" receivers out there that doesn't use those push-style speaker connections for all the speaker terminals! It has strong audio output, but definitely needs some fine tuning... Out of the box, the sub-woofer pre-out is somewhat muddy, need to mess with the filter settings to fix this (I like how there are two sub channels though).
Don't use the auto-calibration microphone... it only samples the room from one position with a low quality mic and unless you have a super-treated room, the chances of it calibrating itself properly are low!
Overall it's a good future-proof buy for those looking to not spend $500+ on an A/V receiver. Would reccomend.
What's great about it: Has banana plug style posts
What's not so great: The auto-equalization is a gimmick
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great receiver !!!

I have had a few SONY receivers in my day. This one is perfect. It is easy to understand and there are no mystery settings. It is nice to be able to turn off all processing and listen to music "direct" from the source.
I can't hear ANY noise or distortion.
Thank you SONY.

Nice receiver, but two flaws
on August 4, 2013

This receiver has great surround sound and is powerful. I like the input selector knob and its digital capabilities. It was fairly simple to hook up and get going. There are some things I don't like about it, though. First, it takes a few seconds to power up. My old receiver powered up right away. Second, I don't like having no external bass/treble adjustments. You have to hook the unit to your TV and adjust them on screen using the remote. My old receiver had all the equalizer controls on the unit. Other than these two cons, I am satisfied with it.
What's great about it: great sound, lots of input options
What's not so great: takes a few seconds to power up, no bass/treble adjusters on unit
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to set-up and use with great sound

Finally broke down and upgraded our receiver from an older Sony model that didn't have HDMI pass through. Previously we had to do all of the input switching on the TV, with this receiver it can all be done from it. Setting it up was as easy as plugging in all of the devices via HDMI and noting what went where. Having 3D pass through is also a plus with the PS3 and the PS4 since both are 3D enabled. Great system that can fit a budget.

A Bear to Set Up
on February 16, 2014
Posted by: Jimbo54
I really expect a certain level of quality in all aspects of a Sony product based on my past purchases. The installation manual is not written in a user friendly manner. It took two days of deciphering and two online chats with Tech Support to get my TV working with this Receiver (and I am pretty expert in setting up electronics of all types). Highly disappointed that there is no equalizer (just Treble and Bass - at least add a mid-range Sony) and no ability to set delay time for rear surround speakers. I have 20 year old surround amp that has a greater degree of audio control than this Sony does. Knowing how to set the various options is a pain. Sound quality is good and clean through my speaker system (Yamaha PA's in front and Polk Monitors in rear). Also, there is no troubleshooting guide available which addressed the set-up questions I had. While this is a basic unit, I really expected more from Sony. I have to rethink if I will consider Sony products in the future given this experience.
