Who refurbishes these? The ZA5000ES is a great price, but receiver is over 5 years old...how is the return policy on this?

The model numbers are confusing but the AZ5000 is still a good price

Comes with the slashed price of course, just a bummer that the 5-year Sony warranty (big selling point) is totally gone on the refurbs, with only 90 days covered. The AZ receivers are only a ~year old.
... Also concerning that they have enough refurbs already for a sale, this early in the product life.

These aren't for everybody. The Pioneer you mentioned is a nice receiver for the money and would please most home theater buyers to a high degree.

I posted these Sonys because you don't often see them at these discounts, and for a certain few nothing else will do. The short warranty does offset the low price to a degree, but it's enough time to set it up, put many hours of use on it, and make sure that everything is 100%. Maybe I'm super lucky, but I've owned many receivers and have never once had to file a warranty claim.

Thanks for posting! It's not the right time for me to invest in a home audio setup, but I absolutely want to build it around the STR-AZ5000ES.

You got it. Secondipity runs the 20% off sitewide a couple of times a year.

I picked up a Sony STR-ZA810ES from Secondipity in late 2020. It came in a generic box hand wrapped in bubble tape with the antenna and remote. While it looked great and had no issues, it looked like a seller refurb based on the packing. It worked great while I had it. I upgraded to a 4k/120 capable Onkyo TX-NR6050 in mid 2022.

I'm not sure if all Sony receivers are like this, but mine ran really hot. I had to put a few USB powered 140mm fans on top to keep them cool. My Onkyo runs a lot cooler.

The AZ3000ES retails for $1700, while the 5000 is $2100.
Where do you see the 5000 for lower, brand new?
