Sony STR-DE885/B Audio/Video Receiver

Rating:
Summary: Big Bag for Little Bucks
Review: First glance at the unit made me think I would never learn how to set up the receiver correctly. Instead, I found the set up was very logical and intuitive. Less than 20 minutes I had the Digital Cable box, CD, DVD, VCR, turntable, and theater speaker system attached and working. Only negative I have, if you want to call it a negative, is that I had to attach the DVD through the satelite/TV component hook-up as it had an optical audio input. The DVD inputs had no optical input but did have a digital cable input. I opted for the optical and just told myself the sat/TV setting on the receiver was the DVD. Otherwise, this unit is well worth the price.
