The receiver did not work out of the box-- no signal at all. Rather than send the large and bulky package, with all the speakers, back to Amazon, I sent the receiver to the Sony Center in Laredo texas. It took forever to get an acknowledgement, until I went on line and saw they wanted to charge me nearly $80 for cosmetic repairs to the front of the receiver-- and were waiting for my OK, without ever emailing me that there was an issue. The receiver, needless to say, had been very well packed and protected. Eventually, they sent it back without charge-- but when I went to plug it in, and pushed the on/off button, the button went all the way through and fell somewhere into the bowels of the unit. After an email exchange with the Sony people in Laredo, with no reply after the first one, I just gave up. I will eat the cost and look elsewhere. Sony products are very good, but beware if there is ever a repair problem-- they are wholly incompetent.
Nice system December 24, 2007

This is a very nice system and a great value.
The sound quality is excellent and plenty of power to fill an ordinary living room. The Sub woofer is big and ugly, but it sounds great. If you like driving bass, this is a good sub. It isn't super-loud, but more than enough power for 99% of sane people. I live in an apartment, and I keep the level at about 60% of full-volume. I ran it at full power for a while, just to test it, and the sound didn't distort.
It has a ton of connectors including optical audio and HDMI, which should future-proof it for a while. The video switching is great because monitors never have enough inputs. This is not only a great addition to the audio portion of you setup, it helps you organize the video signals.
There doesn't appear to be any signal loss when switching video through the unit. I was a bit worried about this because I have a very long analog component video cable running to my ceiling mounted projector. I'm not sure if it amplifies the signal, but adding the switch and 6 feet of cable to the signal did not harm it.
It's very intuitive to hook everything up if you are familiar with everyday video/audio gear. It included speaker wire, composite video/audio cable (unshielded red-white-yellow RCA cable), digital coax audio cable, remote-batteries, good manual, and packaged very well. It also includes a small microphone that you use to auto-adjust the sound levels once everything is hooked up: a pretty neat feature.
One caution: if you saw this at Sony's site first, the Sony site specifications are wrong. Sony advertises on their site that this has a built in disc player. It is obvious to most that it doesn't, but I wanted to clarify this in case you read the specs there.
You can download the manual in PDF at Sony's site, which does include accurate info including a diagram of all of the inputs on the rear of the unit. Just search at Sony's site for the model number.
A good value at $200. Recommended.
Good starter surround sound August 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Speakers are a little lacking, (otherwise 5 stars), but decent for sony speakers. Tuner is fantastic, with alot of features, and a ton of room for expansion.
The original one sent to me would not power up, but amazon replaced it very fast.
Good, but not perfect December 7, 2007

Let me start by saying this system has wonderful sound, especially for its price. Don't be fool by the claim that it has HDMI. It only has HDMI "Pass through", which is esentially worthless. You'll wind up running an HDMI cord to your TV, and an optical to this system. You didn't really think that you could get a full HDMI capable system for this price, did you?
