perfect for a tv sound amplifier. My friends needed something to give then better sound than the TV speakers. We combined this with some auto 6x9s and it's just fine. They're in their 70s and don't need or want surround sound as their home is small, and this fits the bill perfectly for them. The price was right, installation was a breeze, and they're happy, therefore so am I.

This a Really Awesome Receiver. Works very well with Blu-ray players that have Coaxial Audio or optical hook up and works great with Blu-ray disc that have dts 5.1 or 7.1 audio. And Dvds that 5.1 Channel Audio. Or dts audio Dvds this hands down a great Receiver for the money you pay. It sounds just as good as the new ones in my opinion.. and i'm very picky person when it comes to sound quality....so im giving this 5 stars all the way........ and the audio is very crystal clear and clean no distortion.

Easy set-up, controls and connections in back are clear and well defined. Very good audio quality and options for customizing sound fields to your environment. Outputs PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 Surround mixes. Ability to connect CD, DVD, VCR, audio cassette deck, Phono and AUX sources and has inbuilt AM/FM tuner. Only has one speaker output mode, not A/B capable, which would be preferable for connecting additional speakers in another room. Overall quality of manufacture is solid and has initial "Demo" mode to see and hear all capabilities, plus can emit test tones to make sure all speakers are connected and functioning properly.
Mainly purchased as an Amplifier for 5.1 Sound System; unit works fine, but somewhat difficult to adjust for balance of speaker pairs. That is, for volume balance between front, rear , center & surround pairs. I obtained the User manual online from Sony website, but contrary to my expectations it was only moderately helpful. Seems almost impossible to locate a Receiver that inherently does the task I mentioned above, even in the top-of-the-line expensive name brand Receivers. I will have to purchase an accessory Speaker Volume/Switcher unit to accomplish my desire aforementioned. Incidently,you must use an active (powered) Subwoofer with this Receiver, as that signal is only pre-amped by Receiver; works fine though.
Great Clean sound! Very active rear channels but it would be nice to have B speakers too! Easy to understand menu plus a bunch of power that trashed my old speakers and forced me to buy a set of infinity speakers to handle the output. Only reason I would ever get rid of this unit is to upgrade to 7.1 but I would still get a Sony!
