Title: Qality Home Receiver
Review: Great system, very clear sound and powerful amplification for typical home.if you have older speakers, please read the technical specification on SONY web site before you buy. System requires active (powered) subwoofer, as many other premium sound machines. If your subwoofer is passive, your system does nothing in this channel. I end up buying $35 amplifier for my passive subwoofer, it worked very well, system seen it without problems.Configuration is very simple, time that is needed to unpack, connect and simple configuration is less than 20 minutes without subwoofer channel. However, if you include subwoofer, and you entertain adjustment of each surround channel accordingly to your needs you might need another several attempts to get exactly where and what you hear. If you peculiar about sound it might require even more time to get it as you please.The Bluetooth works flawlessly, transformation of surrounding sound from 2 channels is excellent.My TV remote turns simultaneously on and of both of the TV and this SONNY receiver. Most (but not all) configuration screens of the receiver can output to the TV unit, remaining functions show on panel of receiver, with – I would say – “engineering interface”. Manual is OK, but it is not obvious on where details are.My ranking: Sound: ***** Connectivity ***** Interface: ****

Title: Aesthetic, slim, intuitive, capable
Review: I had unique needs and this unit met almost all of them and came in much lower than my max budget. Commentary below:Dimensions: needed to be as short as possible for future cabinet building/fitting. This is the shortest unit i could find that met my other criteria.Surround: needed at least 5.1 with MCACC. I built my system out of a variety of equipment at differing impedance levels and cone sizes per channel. The MCACC feature worked wonders and saved hours of fine tuning the sound field.Performance: needed to perform at a variety of impedance levels per channel and rather low impedance for home audio. I make my stuff out of car audio equipment which is usually lower than their listed 4ohm value. Home audio is usually listed at 8ohm. This units amp lists a range of 6-16 ohm per channel. It's driving 10 speakers (2/channel in series) each channel between 6.3 and 8ohms. I haven't measured it yet but the amp's subwoofer pre-out seems to be 1-2volts which is acceptable. With the preface that I know what I'm doing and 6.5in is my largest cone, this thing will hurt my ears before it clips. So, for me, wattage is a non-issue.Features: it has MCACC. Use it. Bluetooth it works great. Dimmer: I use this in a bedroom and sometimes for looping thunder sounds to sleep to. The dimmer will cut the display down to 50% or turn it off entirely. It also turns off the blue Bluetooth light. Incredibly thoughtful engineering for sleeping applications. Processing: sony's smart surround setting (HD somethingorother) will automatically pass through DTS and Dolby (and pressing display on the remote will tell you what its passing through so you don't have to guess) and more importantly it will automatically play stereo sources in multi channel stereo (aka extended stereo)Shortcomings (all easy to know from listing and photos):Surround wire terminals aren't banana plug compatible but the front channels are.There's no full range pre-out for another zone.Volume: level is displayed in a unit-less value, would prefer actual decibel valuesNetwork: ethernet port for basic smart home control functions would be nice.

Title: Inexpensive, decent features for the money
Review: I bought this for a cheap garage system. Sufficiently powerful for the application. I dislike the lack of analog knobs . This is a trend with all things though

Title: Great sound
Review: Great stereo receiver. Tested it out with surround sound speakers & a sub-woofer. It shook the floor when there was an explosion in the movie. Great sound and plenty of power.Used the Optical Audio input. No lag time between TV & Stereo. Works great.

Review: I was using a pretty good Pioneer receiver to pass my HDMI devices through to my TV. Unfortunately this receiver started freezing. The audio would work, but no selections would. Checking around the 'net showed this would likely be a bad capacitor, and since this is at least an 8-year old receiver, I decided to replace it (no schematic, and lots of capacitors to replace).So, I bought a "renewed" (fancy word for refurbished) Pioneer through Amazon from a seller. That was a bad joke on me because this receiver didn't work either. It would shut off a few seconds after being switched on (apparently this is a common fault with this model of Pioneer receiver). This is the second refurb I have gotten off of Amazon that didn't work. I won't try a third time. I checked online and found out that one Chinese company has purchased Onkyo, Denon and Pioneer. Considering all the problems Canada has been having with China lately and the fact that this supposedly refurbished receiver still didn't work, I decided against purchasing another of these brands.I have an older 46" Sony TV that is older than my old Pioneer receiver, and it still works perfectly. This convinced me to go with this Sony.Well, after reading the instructions (Gasp!) it was very easy to set up. It works perfectly with my old Polk Audio surround speakers and sub (5.1), and it sounds very good. I have only tried it on my cable box and the FM tuner, but the sound was every bit as good as the Pioneer was.Turn it on, set the language and time/date and the receiver goes into setup mode. You plug in a provided microphone and place it in the most common sitting position and it sets up the speakers for you. Sounds good, and only took a minute. Once done, everything was perfect. My old Logitech Harmony universal remote even had the the correct device so I didn't have to manually set up every button on the remote (however, the categories for listening to music do not include using the Bluetooth input as an option for some reason, so to use Bluetooth I would have to use the remote that came with the receiver). Note that I have not tested Bluetooth yet.I think the price is comparable with what the Pioneer cost years ago, and hopefully it will last longer. It's gotta be better quality than those brands that were bought out by China. That's really too bad. The Pioneer brand used to be a very well respected brand.Overall, I am happy with this purchase, and I respect Sony as a brand name. I would say this receiver is worth the price I paid ($348.00).
