User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars difficult to set up – but okay for the price
I bought this based on the Sony name but after doing so it reminded my why I don’t normally buy Sony products. The set up is very confusing and the biggest con is you have to use a TOS link cable to get sound. I eventually found this out after searching on line. The volume is not earth shattering but that can actually be a good thing as there does not seem to be any distortion.

We personally think this is basic receiver, good enough for use in a game room type where you can listen to music shooting pool. Besides that you prob. won’t be too impressed for blue ray home movie.
