Just to be thorough...

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: My recommendation is to use this for fullrange music reproduction only if you are deaf.
Review: Sony STR-DE 197 review
by CheapboxAudiophile

This unit is a far far cry from what you could call audiophile grade equipment. I only bought one because I needed a cheap poweramp for my TL subwoofers. Its use in my system is confined to...

Stereo, you know, 2 channels, no DVD player!

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: Just have a little to spend, or just want stereo? This is a value, and is easy to use.
Review: Here is your simple, uncomplicated unit. It operates easily, and quite intuitively.
Want to store a channel in memory, and assign it to a preset number? No problem, just tune to the station, push the memory button, then push the preset number...

Stereo Lives, but ...

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is need-based, I suppose. If you want the best deal, this isn't it. But if you want stereo and don't demand tons of power, go for it.
Review: Whatever happened to two channels? I can't seem to justify playing music on any more than two speakers. Lots of people have gotten caught up in the 5.1/7.1 craze that manufacturers are pushing, but the fact remains that truly high-end systems...

A Great Stereo Receiver for the Right Application

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Simple clean design and layout on a good basic 2-channel stereo receiver platform that will provide clean quality sound to speakers wired in two different rooms
Review: I had been searching the net for an affordable yet attractive basic stereo receiver.
Having installed stereo in-wall speakers in both the master bedroom and master bath for music, it was important that this receiver have both switch-able A and...

Right On The Mark

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: Hits the mark, read the specs, no buyers remorse.
Review: This is a great home stereo for your general use and packs enough power (former young male military party-type) and pure sound (very low thd, great range, no weak areas) to keep me totally happy. Sounds GREAT on my Bose 301. I replaced my Onkyo...

A few thoughts regarding the STR DE 197

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2007
Review: I purchased this SONY unit because I have a wonderful collection of classical records, a great Pioneer turntable with a brand new needle and the man at Best Buy said it would work.

So as I attempted to hook everything up, I noticed the...

Looked Good in the Store

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2005
Review: Buttons on face are easy to read in the light, but when I put in my stereo cabinet had to set up a mini-light to see them. Remote well-designed and easy to use. Underwhelming 100 watts per channel. Couldn't hook up my turntable- no phono or aux jack.
