    Fine except for
    3 Stars
    Fine except for
    Good power. Good sound. It makes my 4Ω home brewed speakers sing. The USB/mp3 player is nice, the shuffle function can be set for folder or all. Except I cannot find any way to change folders making that moot.Be aware that you will have to connect it to a TV screen to perform many setup functions, like setting speaker levels or tuning in ANY radio stations. There are virtually NO instructions in the included manual. Also be informed that it draws over 20 watts while turned off (Sony calls it standby) With TV, sub and cable box it totaled 62 watts 24/7. I have the entire system on a remote controlled outlet. Startup time is about a minute now. Still faster than the old tube days.UPDATE 9-17The wife complained of recent poor TV sound. After extensive troubleshooting I found out (unbelievably) that one of the channels, only on the TV input (both digital AND analog), had phase inverted itself. (This is the tech enabling noise cancelling headphones.)Luckily it had enough inputs to allow me reconfigure my system.TV, BluRay, DVD changer - digital.BlueTooth, house feed - analog.Pretty shabby for under 2 years old. If it happens again I'm out. Your mileage may vary.
