Summary: For the price, I think it is a great product! To know all its fuctions I think if you read 1 hour the manual you will learn everything that is important.
Summary: Bought this unit for the large number of inputs. It has a nice feature with the auto turn on/off the whole system when we turn on/off the television.

Summary: Just received my STRDH820 and it hooked up much easier than some of the reviews indicated. It did require reading the manual but everything worked first time.
Summary: So far, I like this receiver a lot. It sounds great and installation was pretty easy. The only thing I wish it could do is to overlay the controls on the screen.
Summary: First I'd like to say this is the FIRST Sony reciever that I've purchased. I bought this reciever to replace a Denon 7.1 which died after 14 months.
