 A Great Overall System January 8, 2008
I previously owned a 1000 watt 6.1 system with no HDMI inputs and ony one optical. This one has three of each. And the sound quality is far better than my older system and it was 1000 watts. You get clear, crisp sound and heavy hitting lows. For the price, you can not beat it. I've compared it to higher priced Dennon and Harmon Kardon systems and it out performs most all of them and for several hundred dollars less. You will not be disapointed in this system
Great receiver for HDMI output January 7, 2008
This was a perfect fit for my application which was outputting video to a projector using HDMI and audio to 7 speakers from a DirecTV HD receiver via HDMI and for now a DVD player using component video and audio. Converting of the DVD seems to work well, and you really do get 3 HDMI inputs although the specs say only 2. So when I go to high def on the DVD, I'll still have another HDMI input. Automatic decoding of the audio format is very cool. I am also running a CD player into it using digital coax to get the raw PCM feed. Nice. I would say the only thing that surprised me a bit is that there are no S-Video inputs or outputs. But this was not a show-stopper by any means.
Good unit, upconversion may not be worth the extra $$. January 4, 2008

Overall this unit has everything that I have come to expect from a Sony receiver. Good sound, easy setup, and solid performance.
I am still debating if the upconversion to HDMI was worth the extra money (vs. the DG710 or DG810). The upconvert function in the receiver works from both the component and composite inputs to HDMI output. I have a large LCD TV and what I have found is that the picture looks better if I run the composite video directly into the television vs. going through the receiver. It appears that the conversion algorithms in the TV are better than the receiver conversion. I can't say for certain exactly what aspects look better but overall, the picture is smoother when the TV does the conversion. I suppose that this makes sense as the TV mfg. is able to optimized for their unit. I have not noticed this difference when using component video inputs.
The only other downside to this receiver is the lack of S-Video inputs. It appears that Sony has dropped S-Video from the rest of this line as well.
Great 3 input HDMI receiver December 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
i have 2 hdmi devices and will soon get a 3rd (when blu-ray prices come down). this receiver is the lowest price 3 hdmi input receiver on the market. i was in best buy last week and they wanted me to spend $1,599 on the cheapest 3 hdmi input receiver they had, or spend $200 and get a powered hdmi switcher!!
also, the PQ and SQ on this device is great. Really nice sound from all channels. setup was flawless (although the OSD is a joke, Sony screwed that up royally).
GREAT VALUE!!!!!!!!
Pretty good, but a few quirks December 30, 2007

This receiver has been great in handling 3 HDMI inputs. What I miss is that I can't get my TivoHD to control the receiver since Sony has changed the remote codes. :-(
I also miss the blue light that came on my old Sony receiver when a 5.1 signal was detected.
The remote that comes with the receiver is very basic and it doesn't have good range. It gets 4 stars because it was a great value for under $300.
