Reviews of the Sony STR-DG810

CNET Review
The Good: 6.1-channel receiver with three HDMI inputs; XM Satellite Radio-ready with XM Neural Surround; automatic speaker calibration.
The Bad: Confusing autosetup routine; no onscreen interface; generally poor connectivity options--no S-Video jacks, no multichannel audio inputs, and the proprietary Digital Media Port input, which is limited to only four proprietary accessories; sound lacks detail and focus; no multizone features.
The Bottom Line: The Sony STR-DG810 delivers three HDMI inputs at a fairly low price, but connectivity, features, and sound quality shortfalls spoil the deal.
