With all the new models coming out with 7.1. 9.2, 4k, HDMI I became overwhelmed at the prospect of keeping up with the latest and greatest. I am a bit old school and have always had two channel receivers. These older receivers from the early 2,000's were built well, have just enough features for options down the road should I want to add more speakers. I love the 2 channel option this has and it has bass and treble setting as well as great FM reception and a nice bright display, unlike the newer models that have sacrificed older features for more HDMI inputs. To me, these older receivers are built much better and I love this model. It is perfect for my needs and has great sound.

Very good sound, not perfect, only because it lacks a strong base. It has many connection possibilities, analogue, digital cable (SPDIF), fiber optic and also S-video. The pre-programmed music themes are a bit confusing, as I would prefer just adjusting it all for myself.

Highly recommended, just like all the Sony products. This product is loaded with features and sounds great for a home theater, or for a pool sound system, or a teen audio system on a budget. It's a last-generation A/V receiver (circa 2002), but that's why it's under $100 on eBay instead of $800. It does not have HDMI or DVI video inputs, so it's best for audio-only or for S-video hook-ups or when your HDMI sources (settop box/DVD player) are connected directly to your flat-screen. For the best sound, be sure to use the digital audio (optical or coax) S/PDIF connections from your audio source, if possible. The only down-side to this product is that it is so feature-packed, the setup process and remote control buttons can be difficult for the technically challenged user.Read full review
This is the most detailed sound home theater receiver you can get for the money! I had a modest priced JVC receiver for my first surround system & I thought it was very efficient...until I upgraded to Sony. The surround sound signals this unit produces has me looking over my shoulder for things that seem like they are soooo very real-sounding from all areas & distances! And the great part is, I am running a very inexpensive JBL speaker system...this receiver makes the speakers perform like high-dollar audiophile gems. The best "audio investment", to date, has definitely been this Sony receiver!
Awesome.. once I received it i was amazed at how well it was taken care of.
