Freddy Maldonado: Ok, so This reciver is an excellent choice for a 5.1 or a 7.1 or 5.2/7.2 home theater setup without wanting all the bells and whistles like bluetooth, wifi access and what not. I am running a 5.1 setup with my 5 speakers being all 6homs, so at first i was shy to think the reciver will handle properly but i was wrong, so far i had this reciver for about 3 days now and i play with it every day. Ive seen 4 movies so far and the reciver barely gets warm to the touch. But b4 watching movies there's the setup where your asked to use the auto cal mic and all. Personally i think its a great addition and definitely helps with the set up, but i do recommend after the auto cal to go into the settings manually to check all the adjustments and see if you agree with them. The user interface is not colorful or anything but thats fine you only use it to set the settings and then u dont really see it much. But its all straight fwd the settings and all.

Gerald J. Wyckoff: I've had Sony receivers for a while (about 30 years), and this is my most recent purchase. I decided I really wanted to take advantage of the HDMI cables I had for audio as well as video. Previously, I had all my components hooked up to my TV, which was of a newer vintage than my remote, and used an optical audio cable from the TV to my receiver for sound. This worked fine, but the writing was on the wall.

Let me first say what I /didn't/ feel that I needed. Some receivers above this have internet capability, Airplay, etc. The premiums I see charged for those features on the receivers, I couldn't justify when an Apple TV or Roku player would replace almost all of the functions at, usually, 1/2 the added cost. What I did want was some future proofing- the ability to pass 4K and 3D video, for example.

This receiver has a surround sound decoder, 4 input HDMI ports, 1 output HDMI port (for your TV, with Audio return channel), 2 optical in and one spdif in connection, and a variety of legacy RCA stereo and composite video connections. The HDMI, as mentioned, will pass 4K and 3D video (though I have no components that will handle that output right now, so I can't review...
