Reviews of the Sony STR-DH700

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive 7.1 AV receiver; three HDMI inputs; three component video inputs; automatic speaker calibration; Sirius-ready.
The Bad: Subpar sound; no onscreen display; no onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
The Bottom Line: Sony's STR-DH700 is an inexpensive 7.1 AV receiver, but its lackluster sound and dearth of features make it tough to recommend.
