Relatively inexpensive 7.1 AV receiver; three HDMI inputs; three component video inputs; automatic speaker calibration; Sirius-ready.

Subpar sound; no onscreen display; no onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Sony's STR-DH700 is an inexpensive 7.1 AV receiver, but its lackluster sound and dearth of features make it tough to recommend.

The replacement unit works

The first unit I received had a bad channel

I've setup many professional and custom audio applications that costs much more money, and for the price of this receiver, it performs just as well as the high end receivers

Only a few HDMI inputs, but there's not a receiver with more than 5 out right now. No onscreen menu

Plenty of connectors for up to (I believe) seven different devices

There is *NO* conversion between standards (HDMI, component, and RCA). For example, if you use an RCA input, you *must* use the RCA output to view that video feed on your TV; the HDMI and component video outs will be blank. For me, that means having...

Does everything I need it to. I'm only running a 5.1 system and Blu-ray and a Dish receiver through this unit so it more than does the job! Having 3 HDMI inputs on a unit at this price is more than sufficient and fits my needs perfectly. The price was...

Ready to go out of the box. Remote relatively easy to understand. Minimal configuration changes for a basic setup

Minor con, in that a fourth HDMI would be nice

I needed an entry level Receiver for my 7.1 Surround sound setup. I didnt need high end as I have neighbours to consider and I am not doing anything professional, just personal enjoyment. This product was the best bang for the buck. It has most of the...

The major con was that there is no on screen display of the AV screen functions. As a result you do have to stare at a tiny dot matrix screen to perform all AV functions. As a result I took 1 star off. The only only con was it only came with 3 HDMI...

NEWEGG IS ALMOST GIVING IT AWAY (AS OF 12/19/09) ; OUT OF BOX AND COMPLETELY AUTO-CALIBRATED IN 7.1 IN *LESS THAN 30 MINUTES ; THREE TRUE 1080P PORTS (AUDIO AND VIDEO) ; 24P TRUE CINEMA (TAKE THE PRODUCT TOUR) ; EASY, EASY, EASY TO SETUP ; FANTASTIC...

At this price, absolutely none! You will love this AVR for any room 400 SF or smaller
