 Sony STR-DG510 Home Theater Receiver August 23, 2008
This is a very good receiver, nice power, nice sound, very nice price! You could do better but why spend all of that cash? You have all of the hook ups you need and power to spare. I'm very pleased!

I did some research before I ordered this inexpensive Sony A/V Receiver and overall I am quite impressed. For the $178.00 (free shipping too!) that I paid for this thing, it is a very good value. I realize there are much better alternatives, but not anywhere near this price. If you are like me, and have two HDTV viewing areas in your home, it gets pretty old to buy components that cost an arm and a leg. Be forwarned: the HDMI connection works the video only - you will have to hook up either co-ax or optical cables to make the audio work. I hooked this baby up to a B.I.C. 12" powered subwoofer coupled with two old Design Acustics three-way bookshelf speakers. Feeding CD quality audio from my Cox cable box into this system is AWESOME! I still have to buy the center and surround speakers but the actual sound is superb - especially when you factor in the price. Very powerfull and detailed sound - very satisfied with this unit. I am leaning towards buying more B.I.C. speakers to round out this system.
No better receiver for the price. July 21, 2008
This thing is really the only one in it's class with all the digital connections and options it has. The next comparable ones are $500. My only complaint is that if you have a lot of stuff to connect, its really awkward to get everything set up. With my situation, my DVD player and TV are not the actual inputs on the receiver, but that's what you get when you buy something like this for so cheap. Well worth living with that since you save so much money, Just write down what component is connected to the back and you'll memorize it in no time.
Very nice for a budget July 16, 2008

My aunt and uncle recently got a cheap 32" LCD HDTV. The built in speakers were horrible. A few months ago, they also got a great deal at a garage sale on some old Bose speakers not realizing they needed a receiver to have surround sound, so they sent me shopping for one to fit their budget. I purchased the DG510 for them and it sounds amazing. They are using it primarily for an HD cable box and their son's PS3.
They are also using it as an HDMI switch. Really the only negative about this with their setup is that the optical audio inputs are not assignable for different channels. Therefore, they have the HD cable box hooked up on the "DVD" channel with a digital coax audio cable while the PS3 is hooked up on "Video 2" with the digital optical audio cable. The receivers from other brands I looked at on which you could assign the optical audio inputs to any channel were about $100 out of their budget. This is only a minor nitpick since it still sounds great.

This Sony amp is a great addition for a bedroom setup or in a smaller viewing room. Connections are simplicity itself, and the auto speaker configuration is a great help in spaces where standard speaker placement is not an option.
