 SONY STR-DA2400ES Jul 12, 2010
I received this item in June however I will be actually installing it in October 2010. The item was received within one week of ordering it so the vendor had quick delivery.

Excellent entry level high performance system Apr 25, 2010
I bought my Sony STR-DA2400ES in November 2008.
The Sony STR-DA2400ES offers relatively good value for money for a 100w per channel, entry-level, high performance, home amplifier system. The user interface is relatively easy to navigate, but does not incorporating the XROSS interface that is now included in later models. Additional HDMI inputs may be needed depending on the amount of HDMI components you intend to have in your home theater. I have a Sony Blu-Ray, an Xbox 360, and a Tivo...so, I'm all set for HDMI inputs. Frankly, I think there are a ridiculous number of connections on the rear of the unit: three component inputs and an output, four HDMI inputs and an output, five composite inputs and an output, an incredible 11 analog stereo audio inputs and five outputs, five digital audio inputs. The list really does go on and on. Put simply, if you've got any A/V device made in the last few decades it'll find a home at the back of the STRDA2400ES. The unit also supports Dolby Digital plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.
It's certainly an imposing device. The fascia houses a large number of dials, switches and buttons, as well as a removable panel for connecting portable A/V devices. As usual, the volume control is the largest dial and moves perfectly smoothly. All the simplest functions of the receiver can be accessed from these controls, but if you want more complex functionality you'll have to use one of the system's remotes. That's right -- it has two.
The smaller remote is more for convenience's sake, with input and volume buttons as well as a navigation pad. The larger remote includes these features as well as a variety of sound equalisation and alteration keys.
For actually switching and outputting all these ports and connections, there's the choice of composite, component or HDMI outputs; the HDMI port is able to up-scale all video sources to 1080p.
This up-scaling is of great quality, with DVD-quality sources exceptionally vivid and smoothly enhanced. Of course, up-scaling will never be as perfect as original HD content, but the STRDA2400ES makes the best use of any content so you don't have to rely on your television's in-built scalers.
The amplifier is able to output a more-than-adequate 100 Watts RMS to seven channels simultaneously, as well as offering a subwoofer pre-out. This is more than enough to power a full surround-sound home theatre set to painful levels and I couldn't detect any noticeable distortion when driving a set of speakers from AAD.
Switching between inputs and modes was simple; with a little practice, controlling the unit will become second nature. If you have had any experience with home entertainment equipment you should be able to follow the basics without any major problems. If not, the two-inch-thick bundle of manuals included with the unit should come in handy.
If you've got a serious home entertainment setup -- Full HD television, extended surround sound speaker system and any number of DVD, CD, BD or HD disc players -- the STRDA2400ES will perform any task you ask of it with ease.
Last but not least, Sony offers their own media port which allows you to connect devices such as your iPod, PC or Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. This is also complemented by software that will clean up and improve the performance of your MP3 files - a nice touch and definitely not possible on all AV receivers in the level entry range. In fact, it is so rare, this is a definite thumbs up for Sony.
I highly recommend the STR-DA2400ES.

 Very Good Nov 16, 2009
I recently purchased this item; bought it online for 569.00. Excellent sound, some smart features, I get very good FM radio reception. I have it linked to other Sony products including the KDL 52XBR9 and a Sony BluRay player, so it all comes up with one button. A bit cumbersome to make changes in equalizer and other functions. But then, I exchanged this with a 20 year old sony es receiver.

Good, solid, feature-packed receiver Nov 13, 2009
Is it just me or are all home theater receivers just too feature-packed? I'm relatively tech savy, but this thing is humbling. More ways to set this thing up than any non-professional would ever need. The result is that it is too complicated for my wife and 6 year old daughter to use without the Logitech universal remote which I have pre-programmed by activity. While it hurts my ego to admit it, I think I'm probably using less than 50% of its true capabilities as well. I have the following running through it: Cable HD/DVR (connected via HDMI), XBOX 360 (via HD component), PS3 (via HDMI), old Toshiba CD changer (via toslink),a 50 inch 1080p Panasonic Viera plasma tv and a decent set of Polk speakers. My favorite activity is, believe it or not, playing Pandora internet radio over the PS3. Both movies and music sound great.
Overall very pleased with its performance after several months of daily use in my main home theater set up. It does get hot in the AV cabinet, so I make sure to leave the door open when in use -- especially if playing with the XBOX 360, which used to sit just below the Sony receiver; I had to move it a few shelves down and cut more space out of the back to ensure better air flow. No image problems compared to plugging directly from the cable HD box to the TV, but then again I don't really see much improvement in the upscaling performance over letting the TV handle this operation.

Took a while to fiquire it out Jun 13, 2009
I was not prepared for the menus GUI, cinema settings, Hdmi ... etc. It was tough start because I had a new 52' Sony TV,blue ray player, new speakers with the receiver.
I am a novice with this but eventually I figured it all out.
It's a very impressive system for the cost and I'm learning more about it every day!

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
