Well built, cheap to buy.Sounds quite good as a HT decoder on DD,dts,DPL. Better than a receiver but no match for the real high end processors. No better or worse than the likes of the popular Yamaha DSP-A1 , Denon AVR-5700 and other mid-fi HT gear. Compared to the best the Sony is rather harsh and bright.
Adequate on music. All analog signals are converted to digital, which wouldn't be too bad except the on-board DACS are mediocre.
Lacks a few essential HT features like a separate recording path.
The latest remote still sucks and eats batteries.Overall not bad for the money but strictly mid-fi.
