(...) If you are looking for an "all-in-one" unit look no further. Make no mistake, the sound and power from this receiver will bring new life into your speakers. The volume control appears a little off because you have to crank it up to hear it at an...

When selecting my new AV receiver I was looking for 4 HDMI inputs which the Sony STR-DH820 provides. Having used it for a few weeks I can say I am well pleased with my purchase, once I realized the need to replace my passive subwoofer with an active...
