Add Your Review for the STR-DB930 |
Impressive product. I have previously using a Yamaha RX-V 595, and Sony is far more superior in sound quality. I would like to have information on further tweaks if anybody knows one. Thanks, regards from Turkey....
| Product Weakness: | + Remote control is slow + Balance does not totally operative, for example if you select the extreme left, there is still signal on the right. This makes it difficult to position each of the speakers for optimum placing, because you have to disconnect the other speaker everytime. + There was a humming noise coming from the main transformer, I modified it. + Even in the first week of usage, I experienced contact noise coming for the main attenuator, not a good sign for the future. |
| Product Strengths: | + Tonal quality. + Impressive DD and DTS decoding. + Phono input |
