Good match for the Polk center speaker and subwoofer. Compliments our DCM Time Windows (towers) that I can't bear to part with. I've slowly replaced a surround speaker setup that sucked with Polks and couldn't be happier.

This replaced a subwoofer from a 7.1 home theater package. This is much more clear, yet has deep bass. If I dial it in for music, it's a bit much for TV.

I like to stream blues and classic rock besides watching movies and this makes it happen. I have an issue with movie dialogue and this helps me out. It's clearer than the package speaker I was using and it matches well with my vintage DCM Time Windows floor columns.

I bought this when my other receiver died. Once I figured out the remote batteries were bad, it was easy enough to set up. You do the setup through the TV screen, which worked, but I may have enjoyed an option to do that through the receiver. The TV makes full use of the 4k resolution now and the audio is very nice. There are plenty of sound mode choices to satisfy most. When you do set this up or later for additional tweaks, I would suggest downloading the full manual. That helps to explain some of the options such as allowing the unit to power on and off with the TV. This was offered for $50 less not long after I purchased this and got credit on the price match. I recommend this unit highly.

Bought this case for the wife since she got a new phone. She says she would rather have a cover that closes like a book, thinking the exposed glass might get scratched while living in her purse. Could have saved some money........... I would use it, but I got another colored case to differentiate it from hers. I put my phone in my pocket.

Is there a reason why I'm missing sound when I play a movie (via Amazon Prime app)? I’m using eARC with a new 8K HDMI cable and JBL center channel speaker. Some scenes there’s sound, some scenes no sound. Sounds works full-time with TV speakers.

Check the troubleshooter in manual and online. Some surround formats do not use center channel. It took me a week to adjust my 5.1 speakers to satisfaction.

I currently have the Denon AVR-S540BT. Would this Sony AVR be considered a downgrade or an upgrade from my current AVR?

Funny you asked. This is my replacement for that model. It is a tad better. The Denon is easier to set up, I think the Sony sounds better. The Sony is 7.2, but I use as 5.1. The Denon lost few surround sounds after warranty expired.

I have purchased Pioneer - Elite 7.2-Ch. Bluetooth Capable with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black. Also, I already left and right pioneer speakers. Does the speaker compatible with my pioneer receiver?

A better question is whether this would fit with your speakers. The signal going to the speakers is electronic and similar spec'd receivers will sound the same through the same speakers. I have no experience with your setup, but most receivers are flexible and adjustable enough to fit right in. I have 3 different brands of speakers and I have my preferred sound dialed in.

Can the system be set up to play well with just two speakers? I only wanted to hook up my two Klipsch floorstanding speakers. There's barely any bass coming out. I tried adjusting the tone with bass +6 dB and there wasn't much difference.

You can set your speaker to "large" for speakers capable of handling the bass frequencies. Default is "small." You can also change the crossover frequency. I would recommend downloading the pdf manual for the receiver, as it contains a lot if information on the myriad of options the receiver has.
