Great Budget Hifi for All, including Audiophiles
on January 24, 2013
Posted by: DeanPrimera
Overall, this is a great hifi stereo receiver for what you pay. The sound is full, uncolored, faithful. You can't beat it. Unfortunately it does not have a built in phono pre amp like most older stereo receivers, but that is almost impossible to find from any manufacturer these days. The arguable upside to that one "drawback", is that you have plenty of line inputs to choose for your own external phono pre amp which you can upgrade to highest quality of pre amps, better than any stock pre amp ever offered in a receiver before. So that con can actually be a pro, deepening on how you vinyl lovers look at it. Anyway, great product all around! You'll love it.
What's great about it: Has all of the modern accommodations, including iPod connection
What's not so great: No PHONO IN for the vinyl lovers
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versitile, Reliable and User-Friendly

I use this receiver to select and amplify audio input from my HD radio tuner, DVD player, computer, and TV. I send the selected audio to speakers in the same room and to a second receiver in a different room. Often I do this using the remote from bed in the dark. This SONY receiver facilitates all these tasks with only moderate effort on my part. The sound produced is smooth and strong. Editing the LED input name display allows me to quickly check the input source. The receiver remote can be set to control other SONY devices such as the DVD player. With all its capacities, the price of the receiver seems very reasonable.

Best sound system I've ever owned

I've heard both my wonderful, resonant Sony and a Bose system in my house and to me Sony's sound is many, many times better than Bose's.

Great value and works like a Sony product should.

Gender:Male
Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought this a few months ago and had installed it with a CD player along with two Polk bookshelf speakers (we're old school). Just recently added two more of the same speakers (A&B) and it sounds great. I' m about to add a Polk 10" sub woofer and am a little confussed on the setup. Can anyone out there help. Other than that the system works and sounds great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impressive Component
on October 20, 2017

I bought this receiver less than a month ago to replace my Yamaha that I have owned for over 20 years that was starting to show signs of deterioration. I came across this product and bought it immediately because it was just the right price and I know Sony is a brand I can trust. I am an avid record collector for 25 years and only purchase music on vinyl (CD if I have no choice) so I wanted a new component that would boost the quality of my audio. I have a Rega P3 turntable with a high quality cartridge and I have a Rega Fono Mini pre-amp that is definitely high quality at a modest price. The fact that I needed to buy this pre-amp specifically because it DOES NOT have one included like my previous receiver which is the best thing to happen since having this receiver and pre-amp the quality of the sound is incredible!! The bass and treble range from 0-10 and depending on which album I play I can easily adjust the high and low ends to sound exactly as I want and I crank the receiver to max and lose ZERO quality which is impressive! The bass is deep heavy and prominent and the treble is remarkable crisp and clear. I can't wait to complete my set up with some high fidelity speakers which now will probably be Sony as well. Bottom line this is an excellent product if you are looking to increase the quality of sound with your vinyl or equally good quality from CD's (vinyl is superior) this is a great product at a reasonable price. It has plenty of inputs for other components (cassette tapes/game system/television/) I am very happy and recommend this product for an entry level audiophile or a seasoned one like myself.
