Now I buy only Sony. Sony is the only way to go. I have had other amplifers and they all died.
This is a dream receiver.Listen people I am not selling for Sony and Iam just a cheap buyer(second hand items).This Sony STRDG720 7.1AudioVideo is beyond imagination.For a such price I don't see why people arebuying fancy and expensive items when you can enjoy the great for cheap.A lesson for buyer: Trust the reviews, they will help you buy wisely.Sincerely,
I'm super stoked about this receiver and have owned it since last summer. I also found the Logitech Harmony 550 to be the ideal remote to run all of my gear after using the remote that came with it to set this receiver up. Buy your cheap HDMI cables on amazon and make sure to grab a cheap TOSLINK cable so you can rout surround sound from your HDTV channels to the receiver and you are set.
I do my "hi fi" listening at my computer and have a whole nother setup for that (look at my reviews) and couldn't be happier. It sounds great, recognizes everything you plug into it and just works. I use this for movies, sports, and gaming and it gets the job done.
I matched it with 4 Sony speakers a decent sub and a nice center and run my Xbox360, Blu Ray player through it. This receiver is just totally awesome.
It takes the mystery out of setting up your surround and HD system.
The remote, menus, and instruction manual are all difficult to understand and navigate.My HDMI inputs are:- Tivo HD player- DVD playerMy HDMI output is:- Home Theater projectorThe sound comes out of speakers or headphones.This works well for me, and was fairly simple to setup. I bought the Sony STR-DG720 for the 3 HDMI inputs. They work great, and are easy to setup.Everything else is a pain in the neck.
The specs (particularly THD) aren't great, but I've (only) got a couple of grand in speakers total, so it's good enough. Took some time, but no big deal. My Blu-Ray has built-in DTS and Dolby HD decoders so this receiver's straight pass thru works great. Set up was relatively easy, but the auto-mic setup doesn't work in large rooms (my rear speakers are 15' behid the seating position), so I had to do a manual speaker distance adjust.
