Very High Quality for a Good Price This receiver has done everything I need it to do. While it does not have the fancy on-screen features as the more expensive "ES" models, it has a very good variety of settings for almost any speaker set-up, as well as a useful auto-calibrate feature that saves time when setting everything up.
The best feature by far is the programmable remote with learning capability. After a string of failures with "all-in-one" remotes, I have finally replaced EVERY remote with the receiver remo...

Great Sound I have had Sony equipment on and off for years. I had just bought the new Sony 52" HDMI Flat screen and my old receiver was not equiped for HDMI. I looked around a fair bit and compared dynamics and prices.I eventually got the Sony and am glad that I did. Our TV room rocks now with sounds I didn't know existed. Wonderful clarity, great highs and big deep lows. Watching movies with this set up, I really do feel like I am getting the movie experience.

Excellent Choice I wanted to upgrade my home theater from the H&K AVR730, which was amazing too mainly because of the lack of HDMI inputs and to suite more my New 70inch Sony KDS-R70XBR2, so I decided to go with the DG1000. I have hooked it with Bose Acoustimass 5.1 channel speakers, and it's simply amazing :). The only negative thing on my personal opinion which why I gave it 4 out of 5 is the old fashion look, I wish Sony have put some more effort on the Design to make it look a littlie bit more sexy.

I ordered from J&R Music and Computer World and still haven't got my reciever and it has been over a month since it was shipped I ordered the reciever from J&R Music and Computer World and I still haven't recieved it. It has been over 30 days since it shipped out and I understand living in Guam it will take at least 2 to 3 weeks at most but not this long. So I can't give a good rating on this product since I do not have it but as for J&R Music and Computer World and there means of shipping the product I give J&R Music and Computer World ZERO stars and I wouldn't order anything from them again.

Awesome feature set; awesome performance It's hard to imagine that anyone could have a collection of old and new hi-fi peripherals that couldn't be hooked up to this beast. Check out the back panel view above. The only problem is you will need to carefully plan your hookups, because once a set of jacks is surrounded, you'll never get something plugged in or out of it (at least with just fingers). Mine handles a phonograph, 2 VCRs, an LD player, a DVD player, and a CD player. There are jacks available for a tape deck or other audio ...

Great video and sound, but complicated Video processing through DG-1000 is better than when I had DVD & DirecTV satellite hooked directly to TV. Just perfect. (see below) Also excellent surround sound for movies and music--very versatile. However the unit is big and runs hot. It's also the most complicated electronic device I have in my home, after my computer. It took a lot of time and patience to set up, and I'm still experimenting with settings after one month. Still, well worth the time. I chose this over the SONY STR-DG910...

Great Receiver The Sony STR-DG1000 received some poor reviews based largely on the quality of the DVD upconversion and somewhat on the lack of graphical content in the onscreen menus. Even these reviews, however, stated that the sound was very good! IMHO, the sound is terrific and it works very well as the audio part of a HTS. Although the graphics can only be described as functional, this meets 100% of my requirement and I have had no problems adjusting the receiver. The bottom line is that it is a lot of...

MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! I'm simply elated over this receiver! How it looks, performs, the features and price. I'm coming from an old 1998 Sony STR DE-925 Receiver that's a 5.1 set up. While my old system was great, especially the sound quality, this new one is the MAC DADDY!! It looks like a sports car with allot of muscle. Not sexy but all business.
I love the on screen set up and the auto set up feature. The 5 EQ presets, 4 Component video and 3 HDMI inputs. But the thing that got me the most was the P...

Received safe and sound in France Abosutely fantastic ! I had an ageing (1988) full Hi-Fi system and the Amplifier broke down. So I purchased this hoping for something to run my existing 120W and surround sound speakers -- I was totally shocked that the qualitiy of the music improved unimaginaly...! regrets I d ont even have a few however a friend wanted to plug in his Mp3 player and I d on t know if it takes this but maybe if you have teenagers you should check this out !

It seems to be pretty good for the cash spent It seemed to be pretty easy to set up, and puts out a hell of a lot of power. I was happy to hear there was little to no distortion at high volumes. Money for nothing' sounds pretty darn good on it. HDMI even worked.
