Sony STR-DE598 FM Stereo/FM-AM ReceiverI love everything about it except for the menu system. Everything is interlinked. For example, when the front speakers are set to a certain volume, the back can't go any higher than the front setting. Also, the menu system is not very navigable. I'd rather have an equalizer menu with separate settings for different frequencies. The only ones available are bass and treble. Otherwise the system is solid and delivers awesome sound. I just don't like the menu system and how the settings are not very easily tailored to a listener's specific taste. I would rate this 4 stars because of the sound which is its main function.

This AV unit is a good value for the money. If you do not need higher quality S-video switching. The unit has very good sound quality and trouble free to set up.

Buying from Amazon was cheapest price especially with free shipping. Stepped up for more power per channel. Stayed in the Sony family. (Previous Sony surround, output to center speaker quit) Dislike the speaker hook ups in back, difficult to attach speaker wires and screw down connections. Overall happy with purchase.
