Date: 2010-02-01 Great mid to high end component at low-end price I purchased the Sony STR-DN1000 after reading many reviews by both end-user and critics, I decided to purchase this unit to replace my Onkyo. I will not comment about the problems I had with Onkyo, but I will never purchase that brand again! I have been a "Sony Guy" for decades and realized I made a mistake with Onkyo and decided to come back to a quality product that delivers. I had an issue with my Sony receiver and my PS3 after playing MW2. The picture would flicker and the sound would switch from Multi-Channel to 2 channel. I got frustrated and did some investigating by searching forums. Long story short...the HDMI cable I was using was a cheap "bundle" cable that came with the PS3 as a start-up bundle. I replaced the HDMI with a "Sony PS3" cable and the problem was solved. Check your cables!! The only issue I currently have is the remote must be pointing directly at the receiver, unlike my other components which register in the vicinity. I am very satisfied with my purchase and will remain a Sony loyalist. Date: 2010-01-31 Great Product, Mine Had Some Issues! Great product! The features and setup is very easy to use. the only issue I have is that when I got it the composite input and outputs do not work on it. I called Sony and they told me I would have to send it in. I already have ran all my cables through my wall, therefore I would have no sound or video for anything until I got it fixed or a new one from Sony. I decided just to deal with it, but that's my problem. Also once when I tried to switch over to another component it wouldn't recognize it until I unplugged the HDMI cable and than plugged it back in. Haven't had that problem since. Other than those issues I love the product. Date: 2010-01-30 Excellent Head Unit Sony did a good thing when they redesigned this head unit series to include this "non-pedestrian looking" version of an already quality sounding head unit. I don't have anything bad to say about this unit. Buy this, good speakers, good wires, and enjoy the best sound quality without breaking the bank. Date: 2010-01-30 Sony receiver STR DN1000 Very pleased with this unit. Sound is good, set up was easy, and unit looks good. I have a Sony HDTV, CD, Blue Ray DVD, VCR, and XM run through it and all were easily installed. I have a 5.1 speaker system, so can't address 7.1, but the sound through my Bose speakers is plenty good enough for this non-techie. Only complaint is that the instruction manual, while thorough, has you skipping around some - could have been better organized. This is a minor complaint, and overall I would recommend this unit. Date: 2010-01-30 Sony hits a homer Upgraded from a Yamaha surround system to Sony STR-DN1000Sony STR-DN1000 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver + Accessory Kit and I was blown away. The ease of setup was outstanding. Simply plug in speakers, attach optimizer microphone to Auto-Cal jack, place microphone at your listening position and press start...waa-laa...the system is set up to match the room and seating position. Could not be any easier. Outstanding sound in an instant. The 1000 controls everything (DVD, Blu-Ray, Satellite tuner, Camcorder, Video game, etc.) via input jacks to the TV. Everything performs perfectly. * Price is subject to change. |
