Pros & Cons
Pros
The appearance of this receiver it's perfect. It ties everything together in a nice bow instead of having a huge tangle for wires. The only other gripe that has come up so far with this is that i am still yet to figure out how to wake my tv with the r... Read More
The setup is pretty straightforward. After that is complete and is powered up the home screen appears. The sony easysetup is actually really easy and not complicated.
The box was double-boxed with plenty of padding. Digital cinema auto calibration ix is worth the price. Sony x-box one x is the best value for money.
Sony virtual 360 sounds great even with only having 5 speakers. We have an older house that has some solid walls, wooden floors and an attic place that would make mice claustrophobic. Watched live die repeat, super 8 and u-571 so far with excellent re... Read More
The sound is so much crisper, clearer. This unit weighs a pound more than my 1800es line from years ago,showing that sony doesnt skimp on quality. The device gets very hot, i am surprised at how hot it can get.

Price

Everything else, much more expensive, looked like it was rolled down a mountain side by the time it gets to my front door.
This avr sounds down right amazing considering the price point.
Competitiveness
The sony easysetup is actually really easy and not complicated at all and the ui is much better than denon's.
I have 3 systems at home and i keep switching between sony, denon, onkyo, yamaha, pioneer.
The one downfall is the faceplate, while it offers a lot of new features the faceplate look is exactly like my old 550, sony ne... Read More
Over the years i've purchased many more pioneers, some better than others, but they all still had a certain "punch" or fullness... Read More
