Review Text: Excellent Two Channel Receiver. First things first, what's cool. Loving that the remote can control Pandora on my PC. Pause, move to next track, no more bringing up the program and grabbing the mouse. Remote has nice layout with every control you need. Excellent. This is a niche receiver and fills that roll nicely. For me that niche is my home office with a pair of shelf speakers driving music on the Bluetooth connection from my PC. Can see this receiver in many applications, bedroom, dorm room, man's cave, game console, kitchen, etc. As turntables and plastic has started returning to the stage for audiophiles who are enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound the receiver includes a phono connection. The first I have seen in a long time. Kudos Sony. Listening to the Phantom of the Opera now as I write my review. The music is crisp, clear full bodied. Even on the shelve speakers it delivers brilliant sound. An exceptional listening experience. Setup was beyond simple, pair of speaker wires connected, plug in FM antenna, batteries in remote, connect your device wired or Bluetooth and power up to your favorite tunes. A few specs for those who may be considering a receiver of this class: It is a stereo unit - supports two sets of speakers (A/B) Five Audio input - one audio input is also coupled with an Audio output Phono In with signal ground Front - Portable In jack and headphones 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz 90 watts per channel No more than 0.09% total harmonic distortion FM Tuner Bluetooth Nice front panel aesthetics. Another good touch is the dimmable front panel, can be set to bright, dim or off. If you are considering a receiver along these lines I would give this Sony a look.
