SEN doesn't work. There is no way to get to any website mentioned in the SONY manual. USB support is BAD. OSD is worse. Can't assign analog audio to HDMI (I am not sure if SONY engineers know that many compuers have Display port for video and regular analog audio - no OPT or COMPOSITE - they call it COAX for some god knows reason). Can't route the DISPLAY->HDMI for picture. POOR interface to arrive at this conclusion. There is NO WAY to like this product.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

After researching receiver for almost two months, this one appeared to be the best for the money. Overall it has many great features, such as 3D and 4K pass through, tons of ports and other extras like blutooth connection. The only downfall is not being able to pass through music from one source and video from another without needing to use an optical cable for the audio. The blutooth is clear and with a better/newer phone works for a great distance. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Nice easy to install receiver, a lot of sound, nice features like Airplay via WiFi. Only one claim - in stand-by mode to much "transistor" sound - will brind receiver to warranty to look at this.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Not User Friendly

I found the instruction booklet and the remote to be very unfriendly to the user (me). Still haven't been able to hook up to my local lan network. When I get to the screen for the WPA Key (Generally this is the password for the wi-fi secured network, it will only let me enter 5 characters. My password is 8 characters. It took me a while to figure out how to use the alpha numeric keys. A very cumbersome method. Not at all pleased with the convoluted system.

Great Receiver, I have it hooked up to a Sony Bravia TV so they "talk" to each other very well. I love that it hooks up to my home network. The only issue Ive had is the AirPlay only passes audio, but that could be me not figuring it out yet, or just a limitation of the device. All in all, great receiver!

I recently set this receiver up after my stock Onkyo one broke and this Sony one is definitely an upgrade...the built-in wifi is terrific, the Bluetooth and AirPlay work flawlessly for music and other audio (although be aware that you do need AppleTV to AirPlay pictures and video), and the set up is relatively simple and quick. The number of HDMI inputs is staggering and exactly what I was looking for. I love how I can personalize the names on the inputs that come through the box and that it can sense when one input has been activated and will automatically switch to that new input. The look is solid and sleek. The system automatically goes to standby when out of use for a prolonged period of time which prevents it from burning out (which is what my last receiver did I believe) and you can personalize which type of audio goes with each input. Great product!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
