Sony STR-DN1060 7.2 Channel Hi-Resolution Wi-Fi Network AV Receiver, Black

I bought this expecting a powerhouse but was a little underwhelmed. It has 175w per Chanel sounds a little empty and flat

I've owned this receiver for a couple of years now, and it has never missed a beat. The sound and vision are amazing. I use it through a 5.1 Q Acoustics set of speakers, and it is now outputting the picture to a Sony KD-48A9 television. I love the fact that I was able to use the 'Game' input for my Apple TV box, and then edit the name of the input from Game to 'Apple TV' which is what shows up on the Receiver display and the TV screen when I select that input. Of course, it stays as 'Game' on the remote control!

We needed a replacement for our relatively new, but failing, Marantz home theater AV receiver. I went to the local electronics store looking for something they had on sale that would serve as an inexpensive, temporary replacement and complement our old (2009) Sony XBR and Blu-ray player. I found a leftover Sony STR-DN1060 for an incredible price and purchased it thinking it would be a temporary fix until we updated our entire home theater system. Immediately we noticed the easy setup then the incredibly rich sound. We always thought our speakers just didn’t live-up to their reputation, but the new amp really transformed the sound of our system. We are so pleased with our STR-DN1060, and after very positive experiences with Sony’s reliability and longevity over other brands, we now do not feel the need to update it immediately and will be updating our TV and Blu-ray player instead.

These amps are bottom of the range cheap ampfiliers and the only choice if you want a matching Sony TV/projector but are 1/5th of the qualioty of the ES range of amplfiers Sony has decided to not bring in to the country. It's very disapointing as this amp is trully awful quality to match up with a top of the line Sony TV or projector.

I have had this receiver for a while now, and it continues to freeze a few times per week. I need to pull the power plug to get it to reset. I have all the software updated, but continues to happen way too frequently.

Don't waste your money. When using cromecast you're unable to us sound field. When I first bought this amp it worked however after a firmware update, that functionality was lost. According to Sony this was by design, now all i want to do is sell this amp. Don't waste your money.

I bought this from an online retailer in January for a new home. I installed in late January and then mid July the amp stared powering on/off and video didn't work any more. Non of my other electronics in the cabinet are having any issue. Wish I would have done some more research.

Bought this to replace my 10 year old Pioneer receiver. Sound quality superb (as you'd expect from almost ANY receiver these days). Works well with cable, TV, DVD, Spotify connect, etc. Very difficult to navigate and master, though. No printed manual. Online manual is 200+ pages...good luck. Almost everything has to be adjusted through the video interface. For example -- want more treble or bass -- it's 5 levels down in the menu. On my old receiver I'd just push a button on the device or the remote.

I have had this product for about 2 years. It replaced an earlier Sony receiver. I use this for music and 5.1 sound for movies. Drives a set of Klipsh towers and Bose 5.1 system without any problems. In my research, you need to speed around over a thousand to get significant audio improvement. If you are looking for an Atmos set-up, this is not it.

This stereo is very nice and puts out top quality sound.

I found the quality of the output was very impressive. Clarity to the notes when playing instrumental pieces. Love the different setting and effects this receiver was able to produce. With an active subwoofer or two, as in my environment, it really gives almost similar feeling as in a theater or cinema. Missing the pop corns and drinks. Given the options of numerous inputs was partly my decision to purchase this product. I am able to bluetooth without having to pair, USB movies or music from the internet. This internet feature is perfect for those who love wireless. The other reason for my purchase was that this product was able sent to different zone or part of the home. The quality of the sound was still just as good at different zones. Though speakers play apart, I used moderate quality speakers and still everybody enjoyed what they heard. A STR DN1060 receiver is really worth its value and I would recommend this product.

Great product. works well. but gets too hot. Sony should really have an app to let you control it remotely.

Best set up process I've seen for electronics. The included microphone used to calibrate the room dynamics is phenomenal. Very easy to use remote.

Sound great but, no mid bass for front my standing speaker. After add a sub, speaker size must set to small or else sub not functioning. Recommend to 5.1 and above user only unless you only use it for clear vocal music. AVR is auto standby mode when you press the power button.You must switch off the wall power supply. It is quite hot even in standby mode.

I have always bought Sony electronics, ever since my first Walkman. Never had any problems. This receiver may be my first in 30yrs. While watching a movie, or TV. The screen will blank out for a second or two. Maybe 2x during a show. Very annoying

The receiver functions well except that the device's protection feature is annoying because it shuts down the system while watching a movie. Remove this feature and I would recommend the unit. Retaining this feature prevents my recommendation.

I got this Christmas 2016, and initially thought it was great. Great sound, good enough to retire my old Arcam Stereo Amp. Lots of cool features, Auto speaker set-up, Airplay, bluetooth, but most of all two HDMI outputs so I could send a picture to a second TV in my bedroom. However getting this to work requires accessing a number of menu's and sub menu's which make it difficult for my family to use. once you set-up the upstairs output, the downstairs output appears to automatically get messed up and HDMI based TV volume no longer controls the AMP volume. just a messy little set-up. The other failing is that it is advertised as streaming via chromecast but it does not stream video - nor does it appear to stream video from my media server. No Dolby Atmos, even though all other brands have it for the same price. Advertised as 4K upscaling - but ONLY 1 HDMI allows this, plus there is no 4K PASS THROUGH - big issue if you have multiple 4K sources. As soon as I had bought it the STR-DN1070 and now the STR-DN1080 have been announced... oh well that is progress!

Bought this as a Christmas present for myself,after my Pioneer died.The amp sounds great better than the pioneer did. However some features are complicated to understand. Eg a hdmi audio signal can not be played in zone 2, so if a music programme is on the audio can not be played out in zone 2.Also while watching TV in the main zone, Chromecast will not work in zone 2 so audio can not be cast and enjoyed in zone 2. I have got round this with the use of a chomecast audio dongle. The FM radio antenna connection is poor, you can cast a radio app to the amplifier but if you really want to use good old FM pray you are in a good reception are (I am not). All that said though the amp's on screen menus make set up very easy,and sound quality is excellent. As long as you understand the amps limitations it's a great bit of kit.

I just got it less than 2 weeks. At first it looks complicated, but it is easily manageable. I love the features and the sound quality.

With little instructions to accompany the Receiver, you need a college degree to setup the system. Even the online manual leaves a lot to be desired in leading one to setup the system. Very poor. Sony use to do a pretty good job of providing helpful information.

This AVR was easy to set up with great audio and visuals. The problem is the second HDMI output, which I send to a TV in the room above with sound, cuts out for a few seconds periodically. Probably happens once or twice every 10 minutes. So far haven't figured out why and obviously very frustrating!

I do like the product. Don't have much to compare it against. This is my second Sony AV amp. I do have very good speakers and they sound pretty good with this amp. Home cinema is always to complicated to use. Usually only one person in the house can use it. The three presets make it easy to switch between different sources and still have the correct sound channels selected. Worth buying just for this feature.
