 Sony Receiver Is Excellent Value October 13, 2008
Needed a new receiver to power a 600 disk CD jukebox for our salon and spa. Excellent response and sound quality delivery.
Delivery of product was also prompt.
An excellent value!

Wanted a reasonably priced receiver, mostly to get speaker-quality sound for sat TV and DVD player. Fills the need well. Pretty easy to set up, easy to use with remote, good sound quality.
Nice basic receiver May 27, 2008

Nothing special but above average power for this price range. Comparably priced to large national retailer's but without the hassle of dealing with their lousy in-store service.
Typical Sony quality, a well-made receiver, seems to have ample power with no clipping, controls are fairly easy to use and understand. The only complaint I have is that the volume control requires a lot of spinning to change the volume level, but the remote works better in that regard.
I agree with J.M. April 12, 2008
J.M. is correct. I don't know what anyone else is talking about with low ratings. We have two outside speakers and two indoor. We hooked all of them up and with the A/B switch can listen outside or indoors or both at the same time. The sound is fantastic both in and out. No spot for a sub-woofer but the sound is so superior we don't even miss it. It does have bass boost which makes up for it.
At this price and shipped here in 2 days, FANTASTIC!

 Adequate upon first impressions March 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought one of these today, and it's quite adequate. My old Vector Research hybrid (solid state + analogue) sounded sweeter, but the Sony STR-DE197 does a fine job for what it costs. I'm pushing 3 ways by Linear Dynamics, and these are very sweet for acoustic intruments such as piano, horns, and strings. I had to beef up the bass to +4 and treble to +6, then hit the bass boost button to match my old receiver amplifier. This comes close to the performance of my old receiver and I'm satisfied. One thing is outstanding -- the tuner. This baby tunes FM exceptionally well. It's clear and free from all harmonic spurs and extraneous content. The only question now is how long will the unit last. Time will tell. But first impressions are satisfactory. For the price, this unit delivers very well.
