The sound is very good. The set-up was a bit challenging as the manual was cumbersome to extract information from. You are required to yo yo back and forth from the table of contents to the specific information you need. You have to keep track of the page number if you want to revisit. You cannot read the manual from beginning to end- wierd. The "hints" in the downloaded 246 page manual were very helpful and also the troubleshooting section. The Ipod, Ipad, Iphone music can easily be played as well as PlayStation 4, the Infocus projector TV.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought this the other day and just purchased another one, replacing a receiver that costs 6x as much. Has less features but the sound is top rate.

I was replacing a 14 year old Sony receiver that finally called it quits. There is virtually NO documentation as to how to set this thing up - the "on screen" menu is NOT available through the Monitor Out (RCA) jack, ONLY the HDMI jack. I was eventually, with tech support on the phone, able to set it up to where I can use it as I did the old one (audio only - sources switched through the television). I think it's time for SONY to review the materials sent with their products to prevent frustration, having to call for support (I was a television engineer for 40 years and this threw me).
I would recommend this to a friend!

This receiver is almost ideal for hooking up AV for a small apartment space. It controls a bunch of recent and legacy equipment, including a TV, a Blu-Ray player, a CD changer, an audio cassette player, and a turntable for LPs. (I might even hook up my trusty old Betamax, just for looks.) It works great with legacy speakers and subwoofer.

I think I am really going to like this product. I have to admit the very first thing on the instruction was confusing. It needs to show from the cable box.

My wife is a classical and opera fan. She said that the receiver's response was crisp, clear and very responsive at all audio frequencies. She appreciates the automatic equalizer feature making the use of CD, DVD and TV listening a joy.
