Summary: Well, all I got to say is, that when all the signal cords are right, u don´t have to have any problem..but, if one cord is failed, prepare 4 troubles. One of my In Connectors, only work for the right Channel and the Phono channel, works with a very fair sound. Now, 3 months of use, I can say that, the sound is not the saem as when I bought it.

Strengths: Sounded good with cheap subs, but wouldn''t power much.
Weaknesses: WHOLE THING WAS JUNK!

Summary: Terrible... Good thing they don''t make this model anymore. Let''s see, It''s blown 5 fuses and eventually fried the main board, would turn on for no reason...
What a waste of money... I had a friend come over when I purchased it and after it was ready to go, it blew the 1st fuse.
Strengths: NONE
Weaknesses: The entire unit

Summary: Many. Horrible remote with faint green lettering on translucent buttons that don't light up. Confusing and tedious setup. Every once in a while, it would break into a loud hum, which only would go away by turning it off and then on again. Today it flashed a Short Circuit message. I disconnected everything and kept resetting it, but it the message kept coming up on the display. I've hated this amp from day one, so tomorrow being garbage day, I threw it where it belonged -- in the trash. Before I bought this amp, I had sworn never to buy another Sony product. I wish I'd stayed true to that.
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Many

from Best Buy - no remote open box
Summary: I was pretty pleased with this receiver until I heard better. I was fired up at the deal I got it for, and it replaced a receiver with no surround capability (my first).
It blew when my roommate hooked it up to his Polk RT2000 - then he bought a Harman/kardon to drive those bad boys, and I couldn't believe the difference.
I'm not really an audiophile, but I love electronics. Go for something like this if you're just starting out and have middle of the road rest of the system to match.
You won't be blown away. Remember this: you pay for what you get.
Strengths: good for those just starting out
Weaknesses: not digital, no light on the volume indicator, lots of useless features
