| darkwater64's Full Review: Sony STR-DE475 5.1 Channels Receiver |
I am slow to upgrade. I know the technology is out there, but I can not afford to make a bad purchase. I have been running my DVD player through a shelf system and had switched out to some low end Bose speaker, which are very good quality for the money.
This aside, I was anxious to make the move to a DTS system to really test out the Surround, rather than just stereo. I purchased this on an impulse, as it was an "open box" item at Best Buy. My TV is not "S" cable capable and I am piecing together odd speakers until I have more cash, but the receiver has far out-paced my expectations.
Crisp clear sound, numerous preset formats and easy to follow instruction make this very user friendly.
I whole-heartedly recommend this product.
Update: I could not take it and broke down for additional speakers. I purchased mid-priced surround system and the whole thing really came to life. This only confirms my previous judgement: This is a great receiver!
