Overview
Home theater owners wiring a full set of speakers get a Sony receiver that powers a surround layout with subwoofer outputs and streams music from phones over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or AirPlay. A setup wizard guides configuration.
Built-in streaming means a phone or tablet becomes the music source with no extra box. High resolution video passes through to the TV, and lower resolution sources are upscaled. The power rating is measured with one channel driven, so all-channel output will be lower.
Who it's for
Living rooms with passive surround speakers and a music habit get both from one box. People wanting a plug-and-play soundbar have no use for a receiver.
Pros and cons
- Full surround speaker layout
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirPlay streaming
- Video pass-through and upscaling
- Several HDMI inputs
- Power measured with one channel driven
- Speakers sold separately
Performance notes
Speaker output depends on impedance and how many channels play at once, since the rating is given for a single channel. Streaming quality depends on the home network and the source app. The upscaler converts lower resolution sources before passing them to the TV.
