I spent the better part of February and April reviewing reports about the different 7.1 receivers available. Looked at Onkyo,Yamaha,Marantz,Integra and Pioneer Elite. I came to the conclusion that this was the receiver for me. Owning a Sony STRDA2ES for the past four years and loving it,made my decision easy. The only reason I'm replacong it is I want a receiver with HDMI to go with the BDPS1 disc player and KDL52XBR4 that I purchased recently. It was easy to hook up and set up by the new X cross menu. It gets rid of the myriad of wires connecting components to the receivwer with HDMI interface. Sound is great out of the box and will get better. HD inter face greatly improves sound and the BDPS1 player is much better than the Pioneer 588SA that I replaced. I'll be a Sony audiophle for the future. Speakers are PSB Synchronity fronts and PSB alpha rear surrounds, and a PSB-CLR center channel. The best combination I've ever heard and available a a reasonable price. Last but not least I have a PSB Subsinic 5 subwoofer that is a great mach for this system. I'm in audio and visual dreamland. Cost was around $9500 and I would match it against anything within $5k of that price. Moral of the story is that research and diligence yield superb sound at a very reasonable price.Read full review
I bought this receiver to replace a Sony receiver that I had for 4 yrs. It cost a good bit more than the old one but is well worth every penny. The three HDMI inputs and 1 output was exactly what I needed to hook up a DVD/VCR recorder, 400 disc cd player, and a BluRay player.It also has a DMPORT that I have my IPOD hooked up to. Excellent 1080P upscaling on regular DVD'S. I have found nothing negative and can only say,"EXCELLENT RECEIVER."
This is a great product with a very high quality sound.My room sounds like the theater when I'm watching a movie. I really like it.

I have always loved Sony products because of their reliablity and functionality. These products tend to be the best per cost value. One can not go wrong when it comes to making the purchase of any Sony product. This machine is absolutly beautiful. Ready to march right out of the box. Keep Sony receivers in mind when starting to build your Home Entertainment .
