Review 1 of 15
Price Paid:
$300.00
from Tweeter Summary:
This receiver has a great number of options and the abilty to easily control my list environment, TV, DVD, 300 disk CD, DSS, VCR. The set up was very easy and pain-free. Strengths:
The abilty to select a number of differenct sound options, the full Sony line, Optical for CD, DSS, DVD, Multichannel for DVD SACD sound. The 6.1 for the price is outstanding. Try Gladiator for movies or Eric Clapton / B.B King DVD-Audio for music played through Sony DVP-NS755V (Another great value) Weaknesses:
The only problem so far is the lack of a Record Out function, not being able to record a show and watch another with the Receiver operating takes me back quite a few years. If it is available, I have not found how to do it with the limited manual. Similar Products Used:
JVC, Yamaha

Review 3 of 15
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
It's a strong unit when compared with all other receivers under a grand. Some of the soundfields and bells and whistles lose their novelty after the first couple of times you use them. Personally, I really don't use any of the soundfields except for Night Theatre and Cinema B. The sound is really good for the price. I had a buddy who swears by Denon components and Klipsch speakers come over and we watched the Matrix, Saving Private Ryan and Episode I and he was amazed at the sound and was re-evalutating what he'd paid for his..... Strengths:
Sound is great, especially in 6.1 Surround sound. Sound fields do a lot for CD sound.... Weaknesses:
Remote takes a few days to learn. Sony seems to think that when they make a multi-functional remote, that it should only perform 85% of the tasks of the additional products it is controlling (especially other Sony components). I'm not sure if S-Link is functioning correctly with the exception that whenever I switch to the TV the audio switches as well. This in not true for DVD or VCR, which have to have their audio switched manually. Just a slight inconvenience though...... Similar Products Used:
Currently using Sony 36" Trintitron XBR, Sony DVD, Sony VCR. Speakers: Boston Acoustics 9000 II Speaker set with Micro 80x as "rear center" channel

from richer sounds (uk) Summary:
I perchased this product for 2 resons.
1. it looks so kool!
2.i needed to upgrade my old sherwood RD6106RDS
(by the way im frum the uk)
I am quite suprised with the £375 mid-range reciever. i first saw it in CURRYS
for around £600.I thought that wasn''t to bad.But then i went down nottingham to RICHER SOUNDS (The largest retailer in the UK acording to the guiness book of records)and they had it for £380 so i grabed the chance and brought it.I coildn''t wait to get it home. so i didn''t i asked for a demo.the sound though the mission M73''s was good,
but my ELTAX CHROMA speaker package will do it justice.and it did. overall i think it''s an exelent mid-range reciver.
(p.s. excuse my spellin) Strengths:
great sound for the price.
it''s astheticaly pleasing (it looks nice) Weaknesses:
without the right speakers it just dont sound right! Similar Products Used:
