Amazon.com Product Description:
Home theater may be the rage, but there's no getting around the need for affordable, high-quality music playback, and Sony's STR-DE197 stereo receiver can be a huge help in that department. The integrated amplifier pumps out 100 watts per channel across both its 2 channels and uses discrete output transistors--that is, transistors in place of cheaper and lower-quality integrated-circuit chips--to ensure high-quality music presentations.

The receiver features an FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM) and a UniCommander remote control with phosphorescent glow keys for easy access, even in the dark. Separate A and B speaker outputs (stereo left/right) let you listen to the same program across two sets of speakers placed in different parts of the house.

There's no phono input, but the unit's 4 stereo analog audio (left/right RCA) inputs accommodate, for instance, a cassette deck, a VCR, your cable-box outputs, or a DVD player. (Make sure your television has sufficient inputs for the number of video sources whose audio you plan to route through the receiver.) A bass-boost circuit enhances your program's low frequencies for greater musical or cinematic input.

A switched AC outlet lets you plug another device into the receiver, conserving wall sockets and powering up the plugged devices at the same time as the receiver. When the receiver powers on and off, so also will the component plugged into the power outlet, provided you leave its power set to 'on.' Listening at night? Plug into the receiver's .25-inch headphone jack so you won't wake the family or neighbors.

What's in the Box
Receiver, RM-US185 UniCommander remote control, remote batteries (2 AA), FM wire antenna, AM loop antenna, user's manual, and warranty information.

- Great performer for a low cost.
I'm not much of an audiophile. I don't possess the resources to be much of an audiophile. All I needed was a capable stereo receiver to replace my old Pioneer system (purchased in the early 90s) and viola: I am happy.

Setup was a snap, though attaching the speaker wire to the proper outlets is a little difficult, though that's more my own fault for placing the receiver in my stereo/TV stand just off the floor. But, what I got for my small trouble was a nice performing system (hooked up with a pair of polkaudio TSi300 speakers) that gives me clean and clear sound. I'm certain that a $500 receiver/amp would perform better. I also know that I saved over $350 not pursuing audiophile level equipment. This Sony set is good enough for my listening pleasure.

So far, in just over a year, the system has performed wonderfully and without flaw (except for the occasional human error).

- Sony Receiver Is Excellent Value
Needed a new receiver to power a 600 disk CD jukebox for our salon and spa. Excellent response and sound quality delivery.
Delivery of product was also prompt.
An excellent value!

- Sony Tuner
Wanted a reasonably priced receiver, mostly to get speaker-quality sound for sat TV and DVD player. Fills the need well. Pretty easy to set up, easy to use with remote, good sound quality.

Rating:

- Nice basic receiver
Nothing special but above average power for this price range. Comparably priced to large national retailer's but without the hassle of dealing with their lousy in-store service.

Typical Sony quality, a well-made receiver, seems to have ample power with no clipping, controls are fairly easy to use and understand. The only complaint I have is that the volume control requires a lot of spinning to change the volume level, but the remote works better in that regard.
