    I bought this Sony STR-DE497 5.1 amp second hand, but in perfect condition etc, and it was one of the biggest bargains ever!
    Sound quality is spot on; for music it comes very close to the quality of my £1000 Yamaha hifi amp.
    I can't reccommend this amp enough, it has enough inputs for most people. The only downside is, being an older amp, it has no HDMI or component, but this isnt really a big problem for me.
    Composite video switching - no loss of picture quality or anything...

    Overall, this amp is brilliant, and I wouldnt hesitate to reccommend it to anyone! (I use it with a pair of Jamo Studio 110, Tannoy mC Centre, Mordaunt short MS302 rears, and a Yamaha YST Sub)

    I found this product very satisfying, it's really good for both stereo and surround, and the pro logic 2 features works really great if u wanna send stereo to 5.1. Over all a really good buy, and its worth the money for sure.

    I have had very few problems with the Sony STR-DE497 5.1 receiver. One problem was that the remote broke after two months, and also the heat resulting from the amp being at a higher volume. But overall, it is very good.
