For negatives:
- No way bass / treble or single channels (Front / Rear / Center / Sub / left / right) set separately
- No USB
- No THX
Summary and detailed assessment:
For its price range, the device is well equipped and is very well suited to television, because the sound worlds better already with 3-way speakers in the price range under 100 euros is as it give Modern flat screens. Whether you choose a Soundbar, a system or 3-way stereo speaker At length, in my view on the desired application area, the room size, budget and personal taste depends. However, the device offers quite possible between different modes individual channels switched on or off. If the sound is digitally reproduced via HDMI from graphic card on the PC on the Receiver, the use of a powered subwoofer is recommended.
In higher versions, this model unit to a more output and front USB, not worth my view, however, the additional costs.
If you look at older models without HDMI in filesharing, these between 40 and 120 euros are traded, which means that is to be expected a relatively small loss of value for this device if you want one change to a better device.
So if you are looking for a cheap home theater reciever, not necessarily the THX or USB requires looking not just the high-end sound, will certainly be very happy with this entry-level model and can buy it without hesitation. However, you should make sure that bring at least one RMS output of 90 Watt to make sure that you do not zerschießt a suitable system / suitable boxes.
Who but a a system looks with which one possible bass // // heights each channel rules can and high-quality speakers in solid wood enclosure connects to listen out even fine Nuoncen and possibly also want sound for a room over 30m2, should instead for a other manufacturers decide in a considerably higher price segment.
For the lack of USB port and the other enumerated weaknesses I draw from a star, but Sony has here a very attractive model for its price range on the market, you can buy without hesitation.
