Pros: excellent sound, extremely high tech, tons of options for users listening preferences Cons: Somewhat cranky if your connections are perfect (which is really a good thing)
This review actually belongs under a product category that doesn’t exist yet, Sony Receiver STR-DE845. Sorry it’s out of place, but it’s one of the newest products on the market by Sony and I purchased it a week or so ago and wanted to review the...
Pros: Everything, really. A very solid all around receiver; Dolby Digital, DTS, great remote. . . Cons: Confusing at first
"Woah" was all I could really say as I opened the large package I had just received. As I lifted my new Sony 835 out of its box, it was overwhelming. The back has so many inputs that it looked built for NASA, not for a simple home user....
Pros: Lots of features, high quality sound Cons: Could use more powerful amplifier
No other way to describe this receiver. I picked up this unit about 9 months ago for use in my main stereo system. Although I will delve more into depth later in the review, the number of features like Dolby AC3, and DTS sound, sound effects, optical...
Pros: lots of power, lots of inputs, lots of acoustic environments, ability to optimize for your personal speaker/component configuration, dimmer switch Cons: slightly expensive, only a fair-quality remote
After owning an older Sony receiver for about 8 years, I finally decided to upgrade to a new receiver which could hook up to my DVD player. This was a great decision! You will be thrilled with the performance of the Sony STR--DE835.
"Unreal" was my first reaction when I first fired this bad boy up. I've been used to the portable types with the speakers built in and I couldn't believe the difference. For kicks, one day I decided to see what this thing was capable of. I...
Pros: Solid construction, Feature-laden, Good connectivity, Great performance in all listening modes Cons: The remote could use backlighting
I recently replaced my Sony Dolby Digital-ready receiver with the STR-DE835 Dolby Digital receiver and I'm extremely glad to have stuck with the Sony product line. The unit performs admirably in decoding Pro-logic, Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks from...
This is truly one of the most amazing home theater components on the market today. This product will knock your socks off, and the neighbors too! If you are looking to upgrade your home theater system or simply start off head and shoulders above the...
Pros: Extensive features, price to value, digital inputs/outputs Cons: no front a/v inputs, no 5 way binding posts for surround speakers
I purchased this receiver last May for roughly $370. I've used it as my primary receiver the entire time, using it for a variety of activities, such as DVD's, VHS movies, video games, radio, CD, DAT, even Digital Cable. In my opinion, this receiver is...
Pros: Too many to list in one line Cons: Slightly annoying remote, but definitely usable
(This review refers to the STR-DE845)
After about 3 months of research, I had narrowed my shopping list down to two receivers - the Sony STR-DE845 and the Sony STR-DE935. Over here in Australia, the latter model is priced about $A350 (USD210)...
Pros: fantastic sound quality! Cons: adjusting settings is awkward
...and this is the BEST! I've had this receiver over a year and it's been fantastic. I ended up with this receiver after returning 2 other ones. I started out with a comparably-priced Technics which died 3 weeks after I brought it home. I exchanged it...
Pros: Good bargain, lots of hookups, all around great Cons: haven't found any so far! :)
I was looking to set up my home surround sound system, and I needed to start with a nice receiver. The reason I chose the Sony 835 was a combination of a few factors: (1) High end receiver. This receiver has everything you need to hook up your DVD,...
Sony is always outdoing itself, the new DE 935 is a 5.1 channel dolby digital and DTS home theatre system (not including the speakers) It positions the sound in your room with pinpoint accuracy and crisp, live,
loud room shaking precision. It...
Pros: SONY IS ALWAYS HIGH QUALITY AND RELIABLE,LOOKS GREAT Cons: FOR THE SAME PRICE YOU CAN GET A YAMAHA,WHICH IS EVEN BETTER
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG BELIEVER IN SONY
I used to purchase only Sony products,mainly because when I was a kid I owned a portable radio from Sony and I had it for about five years when I gave it to someone younger,and they had it for...
Pros: Ease of operation and set up, apparent quality craftsmanship Cons: Certain required audio cables are not included.
Having endured a failing sound system for a couple of years; indeed, having been relegated to portables for nearly as long; my wife and I decided that to celebrate our pending 10th anniversary we'd treat ourselves to a new set up.
Pros: Great sound, customizable-memory EQ for DVD, CD, etc. Cons: weird remote
Upgrading my home theatre system required a Dolby Digital receiver, and after purchasing the 835 I am very happy for the price I paid. Lots of nice features : separtate EQ memory for each input - DVD, CD, etc. (very cool!), digital inputs for CD, DVD...
