I give a 3 star so far because it is not a friendly set up. For example AMP set up is not on the TV menu to be seen. You have to pay attention of the tiny screen on the receiver to see the changes.Also I did not realized it does not have a connection for Turntable.

  It is a light Receiver does not provide all the features but It is OK.

  Should be friendlier on the set up side. Not a lot of choices when to set to listening mode compare to the Onkyo that I had.

I recently purchased this receiver and am thoroughly satisfied with the performance and the options it offers. I like the variable sound configurations from front stereo to full surround with subwoofer. I enjoy the "movement" of sound in action movies as it follows the visualeffects.

Great upgrade after using my Sony all-in-one-box home theater system. Purchased with amazing speakers set from Sony as well. Whatever happens in a movie- I hear it as it is happening in my apartment. It can be scary sometimes, especially in a horror movies. Sound quality is "make believe".

For the price of this AV receiver I can't complain much, only found 2 issues so far, one is the two sets of HDMI and RCA inputs that are labeled the same, you can only use one or the other so this cut you down to 6 inputs instead of 8, the other issue is a noticable click thru speakers as you raise...

  Price and ease of setup

  Nothing major so far but if I want to grow my setup later, will probably have to upgrade

After the difficulty with the Denon 1612 I replaced I was concerned it would be difficult to get everything hooked up and working. Plugged in chromecast, blueray, Direct TV with no issue. Turns off with any device. Separation and surround is better than the Denon. Very satisfied on day one.

Seems to work well, but still having lingering issues with setup to tv which I am trying to resolve. There appears to be a definite audio sync difference with the tv, and although I tried adjusting the a/v controls on both the tv and the stereo, it hasn’t helped.

Jury still out maybe it's a setting or something I will turn it on one time and go to use the FM radio and it will display on the TV then the next time it will not display on the TV maybe it certain settings when it shuts off.

  Easy setup with the calibration mic.

  Does something different every time I turn it on.

Researched Atmos receivers, this receiver had everything I wanted for a small man cave. Sound quality is excellent with my Elite speaker 5.1.2 system with HSU subwoofer. Very, very content when playing SACD's and Blu-ray movies.

This is replacement of my 15 years old receiver. Sound is better than expexted. it is smaller than old reciver. Front panel swich feels very cheap, so we better use remote control.

Sony never disappoints, and this receiver is is just one more example of that. This receiver is fully adjustable to your personal sound preferences, has bluetooth, and sounds amazing. The self adjusting feature is really nice as is the bravia feature.
