Sony STR-DN860 review

 

Sony's done it again - this budget AV receiver offers sensational performance at an excellent price...

Big, wide soundstage Excellent clarity through the midrange Lots of subtle detail Easy to setup Great user interface Musical stereo performance

No Atmos

When all is said and done, our first impression of the STR-DN860 remains a lasting one. We knew its undeniable talents would cause problems for its rivals and this test proves exactly that. All this just goes to show that having the latest mods and...

Everything that I was looking for in AV receiver

 

The user guides (provided with the product and online) leave a lot be desired. Very cryptic and not nearly as information as should be provided.

Nice Features

 

Has the features I need for my setup and it really does work pretty well. There have been a few issues with using Bluetooth headphones but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Sometimes the sound doesn't transfer to my headphones but I've figured out...

Stereo receiver easy to use

 

The Sony 7.2 stereo receiver was easy to set up and configure. I especially appreciated the way the speaker wires could be attached easily. Works with Bluetooth or connected to CD or DVD player ( or iPod).

Great receiver, great sound.

 

Setup was fairly easy, even though the material that came with the unit could have had more detail. I went to the on line manual but the link on Sony's site did not work. I'm sure that will be fixed. Just two disappointments which is my fault because I...
