My old system died on me so I went surfing the web to see what I could find as a replacment unit. I read all of the on line reports I could find and then hit Ebay to see if they had the unit. They did and I got the Sony DE698 7.1 channels system for a great price. My first words on setup are, Read The Book First on how to set the system up, it will go a lot easer for you. Use or make up banana jacks for ease of installing the speakers. NOTE the subwoofer is NOT powered by the system, you must have a self powered subwoffer. I did not so again back to Ebay and got one that had a powered output so I ended up with two subwoofers and they sound great. Since this was a replacment system for one that had died I thought I knew what the sound was going to be like, I was wrong. I could hear things that I had never heard from my old system. This system realy breaks out the true sound to each speaker so when you see someone talking and a car door closes to the left or right you are looking to see where the sound came from. The first time it happen to me I stoped the movie to see who was outside. All in all its a very nice system except for the subwoofer part. I first thought it had a bad driver or something until I read the manual as to what the subwoofer output was. SO, as long as you are not one of those people that can tell you every level of sound that a system can produce in detail this is a great unit. If you know every sound a system should produce then dig MUCH deeper into your pockets for a much higher priced and higher end unit. The rest of us that dont know will be thrilled with the system.Read full review
This unit has everything you expect from a 100 x 7. I have this system hooked to 7 speakers in a 30 x 25 living room. The sound from this unit made my TV seem too small. Sound quality is excellent for the level unit this is. I have not had a chance to hook up a subwoofer yet, but I am sure it will be equally as room filling. PERFECT FOR A GOOD CHEAP 7.1 SURROUND UNIT!!!!
The Sony STR DE698 B 7.1 Channel Receiver bought is awesome and is was on time. I love the Sony STR DE698 B 7.1 Channel Receiver if I did not own it and had not bought it from this vender no ebay my life would not have been complete. No im ready to go blasting tunes all the way to the big house.
Receiver has been a work horse for me, love how it has the Component Video pass through. Other receivers I've owned have not stacked up to this one. Overall, I'd recommend this Sony receiver for almost any household audio video set up
