    The Sony STR-DB930 is superb. Had it for 10 years now and have not managed to find anything comparable for the same money. Remote is easy to use just read the manual and it's easy tok 20 minutes to set up. Plenty of inputs of all flavours

    I bought this Sony STR-DB930 receiver when it first came out, and I can honestly say that it has the best sound of any unit I had used to date. The remote, in common with many Sony products, takes some getting used to, in that it is not intuitive to operate, but can be mastered in due course. I used this unit as part of a demo setup at my A\V store, and it blew prospective customers away. Before buying, I read the full test in a British A\V magazine, and I can only confirm their results in every ...

    I have used many receivers in the past 4 years, both at the studio and in my home and I have to say this Sony STR-DB930 is one of the best for receivers under £500 for quality of sound, power, ease of use and sheer ease of use. It is set up quickly and is very comprehensive. It compares to a Yamaha amp I had 2 years ago, costing twice as much.

    I bought a unit last summer, and both it and its replacement (same model) had noticeable hiss in the DSP mode at moderate volumes and even with a digital source. When I used the 5.1 input directly (and had my DVD player do the decoding), it was quiet: therefore, my setup, TV, wiring etc, DVD player, power supply is NOT introducing this noise. There is probably something wrong the DSP chip or shielding.
    That said, hiss is only noticeable in quiet program sections, and clearly not everybody i ...

    Excellent clarity, throughout the entire volume scale. Good bass presence without dominating the speech. High power handling and impeccable build quality.

    This receiver has a lot of power for the money. Full DD and DTS decoding, too many listening fields, 2 way LCD remote, and more than enough inputs. The remote is for some people hard to get used to, but is quite comprehensive with its features. The receiver is well presented, and I can't think of much other than a raw input selecter, that the amp is lacking.
