Sony STR-DG1100
$900.00
The Pros:Upscaling to 1080p. Good features for the money. (not at original price, but at discontinued price). Upconversion to HDMI (not just pass-through).
The Cons:Discontinued. No high-definition audio decoding (Dolby TrueHD, dts HD MA). Discprepancy between reported output power and power supply power rating.
The Sony STR-DG1100 is a 7.1 channel a/v receiver rated for 110 Watts / channel according to the manufacturer and upscaling to 1080p to HDMI using its built-in Faroudja DCDi Cinema chipset. However, the power supply that is integrated with the DG1100 is only rated for 350 Watts, which is less than 110 W x 7 channels would require.
