Sony STRDG510 to tie me over?

[Davidt1]

OK I know Sony can't make great receivers, speakers, subs, etc. etc. but I need something to tie me over while I am waiting for this year's models to appear. The STRDG510 is a 5.1 receiver and seems to have a decent feature set with HDMI pass-through and auto calibration. For a $100, how bad can it be? I can't find any information on it. Does any know if it has independent crossover settings? Thanks.

For less than $200 (sometimes as low as $150), you can probably find a STRDG710 on E-bay or one of the audio clearance sites with real HDMI audio not silly pass-through.

However, I hear you. I paid what you're looking to pay for a HT DDW790 to tide me over as well. Anything beats TV speakers.
