Hi folks!
I am new to this site, but not to high quality sound...I am here to tell you that this receiver has changed my life! It all began when my decade old, stereo Techniques receiver bit the dust. I shopped around and found this for $316 at Vann's out of Montana! Well, things have... Read full review »

Sony STR-DE897 preview

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Got it for free in exchange for an 845
Cons None yet. I'll tell you when I get it
Recommended it? Yes

Even though this is only a preview... better than nothing to read at all. Well... after having to send my STR-DE845 receiver back for the 4th time, I requested to have it exchanged with a new one. So since they dont produce them anymore, Sony was kind enough to exchange it for a BRAND NEW Sony... Read full review »

After winning a raffle that allowed me to pick anything from CDW's site at work (under $350), I decided to upgrade the entry-level Sony STR-DG510 receiver I purchased less than a year ago.  I gave the old one to my 'rents, bought some Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 satallites from the parts bin of...

Excellent receiver for the price

bymcm1005 Jun 30, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent features for the price. 4 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output. Great sound
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

I had been using a Sony STRDE845 for the last 8 years. While that receiver served me very well, it was time to upgrade to a unit that had HDMI and could decode HD sound. I found it in the 820. Set up could not have been easier. If you can use the HDMI I highly recommend it. The TV I have it hooked... Read full review »
