Very Happy March 31, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I moved a Yamaha RXV-757 receiver/amp into another room because it did not have HDMI connections and purchased the Sony STRDG2100. I have always had good luck with Sony products and I was not disappointed this time either.
The ability to switch from HDMI 1 for gaming and HDMI 2 for television is a huge improvement over a non-HDMI amp. PS3 games now shake this Historic 1880's building we live in!
The set-up on the amp was very easy and I am not a videophile by any stretch of the imagination. I just followed instructions from the book and actually did not have even a hiccup.
In use with my PS3 this amp is amazing. It really sounds great, I think better than the older Yamaha which has always received good reviews.
The auto speaker set-up is very easy to use and detected all of my Bose speakers on the first try.
I do like that this Sony receiver/amp only uses 350 watts of electricity and runs cooler than the Yamaha. Heat had been a problem with the Xbox 360, the PS3, a Sony CD player and the Sony amp all in the same cabinet and now with the Sony instead of the Yamaha, the cabinet is much cooler.
Overall a good product and great service through Amazon.
Sony's 1080p24, Dolby TrueHD, dts-HDMA Receiver... December 20, 2007
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
The Sony STR-DG2100 7.1 Channel Receiver allows 1080p 24hz (fps) pass through, so owners of Toshiba's 1080p24 HD DVD players can now enjoy 24fps and PS3's can use the "auto" selection (instead of "on" forced) and still get the same benefit of 24fps through a receiver. Also, nice for owners of Toshiba's HD DVD XA2 or A35 (and some Blu-ray players) is the inclusion of Dolby+, Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio for, IMO, a great improvement in sound with these formats (as opposed to having them decoded in their players). Of course, soon more Blu-ray and HD DVD players will allow these high performance features to be even more beneficial. In the meantime this new Sony receiver offers improvements in switching over, say, the STR-DG1000, like being able to easily listen to FM radio (or other audio source) while watching a movie or TV show and NOT causing the unit to try to switch HDMI video, which usually results in havoc. Also, if you just want FM/AM radio, this new receiver cycles through just those and excludes XM and Sirius (unless you want to add them, of course, as they are available), which results in less unnecessary cycling - nice touch. At a little over 30-lbs this receiver feels well constructed, but not obese. Finally, This receiver delivers a fully enveloping sweet and airy sound that benefits from it's rating of 100-watts per channel. Even so, it is fairly efficient requiring only about 350-watts power allowing it to run much cooler and is definitely more eco-conscience then most of the popular receivers currently offered. So, now I can leave it on more often and feel less guilty. I really love mine, nice job Sony!
