" ... Sound is excellent, easy to setup. ... "
" ... Great sound and simple to use. ... Now, I need a couple more speakers! ... "
" ... I've been operating this receiver now for several months, and I am very happy with the features, and the sound. ... I have connected this Sony to an older Samsung plasma flat screen TV: my main priority was listening to classical music on my new Polk Audio (5.1) speaker system, on FM radio and via an Onkyo CD player ... The Sony replaced a mid-priced 10 year old Onkyo receiver, and my best estimate is the sound quality jumped about 40 percent. ... The music listening modes are interesting, and include assorted simulated venues, HD, Multi-stereo, front surround, and direct. ... You should find something suitable to enhance whatever music you prefer listening to. ... I have not used the Bluetooth for music playback, but if you stream your music it includes that function. ...

" ... One is i dislike the plastic volume knob. ... Second the settings menu is vague and difficult to work through. ... I think Sony should have used the onscreen option for ALL the little settings instead of just the main settings such as speaker placement. ... "
" ... She then had me push buttons on the receiver. ... "
" ... That is, play music with shuffle/random play. ... "
" ... They can only be seen one the receiver display which makes adjustments more difficult. ... "
" ... The biggest con is some of the menus don't show on the TV and are hard to read on the display. ... "
" ... Unit has no tone controls or loudness setting for low volume settings and to get low bass it is imperative to use a sub -woofer! ... "
" ... The on screen menu is annoying. ... "
" ... Cheap-Cheap-Cheap- no equalizer at all so no control over Bass or Treble and the pre-sets are VERY limited and not so great. ... "
