Bought this last Prime day at this time at this price - I was very unhappy with it. Glad I returned it and purchased the Denon 970. I was 3 time Sony receiver guy

For $200 more you get another zone and Chromecast support.

The thing kept randomly disconnecting while streaming, which is mentioned in the comments multiple times. The bass control is over complicated, and you can't turn it up enough making it sound very thin. The IR blaster feature I couldn't get to work. Very limited controls overall compared to Denon. Go ahead and Audition this for yourself but try the Denon line up to.

I was about to buy this unit until I noticed that only two of the inputs are the most recent HDMI spec (2.1) while the other four are a prior gen. The Onkyo that's been posted at Adorama at $649 seems to offer a lot more with Dirac, all 2.1 inputs, etc.

This one does have 10% back on Amazon card, though.

Decisions, decisions...

I considered this but my Sony DN-1080 is working fine with my Sony xbr85x900h. Not sure if it will pass through 120hz vrr for xbox x and ps5 but it does hdr, Dolby vision etc no issues.

I have the matching Sony speakers in a 5.2 with 2 Sony atmos ceiling speakers.

Sad to hear the long awaited replacement isn't that great. I've had onkyo in the past with mixed reliability but may go Yamaha when upgrade is due if Sony doesn't fix this model or offer another model.

The latest reviews from Amazon is horrible, but when I got it 3 months, I had no significant issues. I believe it depends on the product batch. Onkyo NR7100 for 649 usd is a better buy imo; reliable and quality product.

The 1080 won't do 4K120 which is the only reason why I'm probably upgrading to this. I have no issues with the 1080 so I'm hoping it's the same reciever with higher hdmi bandwidth. The NR7100 pointed out in the below comment does seem interesting.

How many 2.1 do you need? I know people want more, but I don't think when it comes down to it, they will be needing more. Most people don't realize that they can get away with 2.0 for most things they will do. You can always get a HDMI switcher with a remote.

When I upgrade my receiver I expect to keep it at least a decade, preferably longer. I'll upgrade my TV probably twice in the time of having it. My current setup would benefit from the increased bandwidth in a handful of ways, but future proofing would be nice. My PS5, XSX, and gaming PC all have 2.1 today. When a replacement for the Shield Pro drops that needs it that'll get upgraded as well. So the direct answer to your question is 4 today, but I'd prefer to have one or two more available for other devices that may pop up.

Bought this shortly after it came out and was very disappointed. Compared to my STR DN 1080 it didn't sound very good. Also stereo mode doesn't include the sub and I don't like that. Sent it back and bought a Denon S970H, now that's a great AVR.

Fair enough then I agree with you. Definitely should be a dealbreaker. I'm not a gamer and I figured most people maybe have an Xbox and a PS5 so two would be good enough. I thought I needed 2.1 because it was the newest technology and I bought a 77 inch G3 and surely I needed 2.1 My new Apple TV has 2.1, but it must be for future upgrades because right now you don't need it. I think there are a lot of people like me that just thinks you need it. I myself get a new TV every 5-6 years and do the Soundsystem at the same time.
