Question about recievers - Blu-ray Forum

alansaysstop · 11-15-2007, 04:54 AM

Right now I'm running a Sony STRK607P, which came with a home theater in a box. It was a hell of a deal when I purchased it and figured if I replaced it, I could put it in my bedroom. Now my question, I was never really huge into Home Thearter equipment, what is this reciever capable of doing? I know it's not much because of no HDMI input/output. Can anyone give me a little knowledge on it? Maybe a little advice for upgrading without spending a million bucks! haha

I googled "Sony STRK607P" but comes up nothing. Sony does not make the best speakers or recievers.

what is your budget for the new reciever?

Look at denon & yamaha

sorry there's a dash in there. its STR-K670P.

Probably between 300 and 500 depending on my tax rebate this year.

take a look at the onkyo 605. i bought mine on the recommendations of many other PS3 owners and have not been sorry.

the price from jr.com was $399 last i checked.

An excellant receiver with HDMI inputs. Excellant price point too !

Maybe u don't need HDMI now, but what about 2 yrs from now?

You'll be glad u did.

i own Onyko SR604, its only $320 and takes 2 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output, and can process 5.1 uncompressed PCM...what more do you need???

I recommend the Sony STR-DG910. I bought mine for $330 from JR. It has 3 HDMI inputs (vs 2 for the 605)

A better value in my opinion. Oh and it handles 7.1 PCM via HDMI, probably the #1 factor when selecting an HDMI receiver to use with Bluray.

I also have this receiver and got it from JR at that price, it's solid all the way around.
