Sony STR DG800 DSGWriter review
1 of 2 found this helpful I will preface this by saying that I am no tech guru or audio savant. However, I have owned a number of receivers (Technics) and I have never had the hassle that I have had with this particular Sony receiver.
The HDMI cables do not function as designed and there are several forums on-line supporting what I am stating here. The sound quality is good, not exceptional, the subwoofer function is at best complicated and the subwoofer does not work under a number of settings. As a matter of fact, after purchasing Digital Optical cables, HDMI cables and all sorts of RCA cables (for the subwoofer) the sub still does not work.
Again, I am no audio expert however, I am also no novice at setting up stereo equipment and this Sony STR DG800 is not the easiest thing to set-up for proper function. I have a 5.1 set-up which runs on the speakerA&B setting. The subwoofer just doesn't work. Fortunately for me, I have some Bose speakers that help get some good quality sound out of the speakers through the receiver.
If you plan to purchase a receiver and if you are in the market for one of these, please take the time to look for a manual on-line, familiarize yourself with the compatibility of your blu-ray player and HDTV in conjunction with the Sony receiver before making the purchase.
The price of my unit was rather reasonable at $180.00 as the unit was in mint condition and came with everything however, if you can spend $200.00 or more, I would recommend that you look for something else.
I hope this better serves you in your decision making. The unit is not bad but I think it requires a lot more savvy or know how than that of the average user.
Take care,
