Sony STR-DG920 receiver vs Onkyo 606
i've been kind of receiver shopping for a while now and A lot of people recommended the Onkyo 606 but I was reading a cnet artical the other week that listed this sony as being potentially better the the Onkyo receiver.
would you guys get this Sony over the Onkyo (and yes I know the Sony is more $$$) I just want a receiver that will go good with my Blu Ray player and decode/play all the new sound types out and something that will upconvert a 480p image and make it look decent (I heard the Onkyo does a bad job at this) thanks |

Sony is NOT known for good receivers. Almost any other brand will be better, less troublesome and an overall better bargain.

As an owner of the Onkyo 606, I would say it is quite good for the money. It decodes all you will need for the HD DVD/Blu Ray camp and more. Also, the upconversion to 1080i works for a number of input formats, not just HDMI!! I have been extremely happy and recommend it. Look at the August issue of Home Theater for a quality review.
