Welcome to a review of the Sony 7.2 Channel 4K Wifi Network AV Receiver. Paired with a nice set of speakers, Sony’s 7.2 channel AV receiver delivers dazzling, powerful sound. The built-in Wifi, bluetooth and airplay make it easy for you to enjoy your music or media from almost all of your devices. The front USB input gives you another option to connect your music or videos while charging your device. This receiver boasts 6 HDMI inputs, allowing you to connect your blue-ray disc player, gaming console, cable box and 3 other HDMI capable devices. Many have commented that for the price, the menu interface displayed on the TV could be better.

The remote control that accompanies this receiver is part# RM-AAU170. For some people, this remote, with lots of buttons, is very busy and can be confusing to use.

This receiver includes an auto-calibration feature. With the microphone, included with your receiver, you can run a very easy automatic calibration routine or you have the option to manually adjust the speakers the way you want them. If you want surround sound, this receiver has surround sound decoders such as Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic, and many more, to give you the cinema-like experience you are looking for with enhanced, crisp, clear sounds and booming bass. An especially nice feature is that this receiver has multiroom capability, letting you assign different audio for 2 separate rooms. Another feature worth noting is the sound optimizer that will ensure you get the best sound quality at a wide range of volume levels. Although an HDMI high-speed cable is not included, if you purchase a cable you can experience a full high definition 1080p picture screen with digital surround sound. This receiver is loaded with features and delivers pristine, clear, powerful sound quality and is worth the price.
