Deadly sound quality; superb feature set; 4 HDMI ports; good user interface; built in Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio decoder; automatic speaker calibration; Sirius satellite radio ready good feature to price ratio.
Poor image quality on converted analog formats; multichannel analog input is absent.
The STR DN1000 has done exceptionally well in the audio department, but the up scaled videos were lack lustre. The feature set is good and is more than enough to keep you busy for a long time. For a price range of $322.92 – $499.99, the DN1000 does...

Solid sound quality for the price; relatively inexpensive given the feature set; four HDMI inputs; basic graphical user interface; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Sirius-ready; automatic speaker calibration.
Poor image quality on upconverted analog sources; no multichannel analog input; no second zone functionality.
The Sony STR-DN1000 offers solid sound and basic AV receiver features at a bargain price, but its not nearly as good as last years STR-DG920.
For just under $500 retail, the Sony STRDN1000 is one serious receiver that is as big on performance as it is on style, The STRDN1000 can do just about everything a modern home theater calls for and more in a way that is easy to set up, use and live with day to day, I've never been a fan of Sony's attempts at auto EQ, but the STRDN1000's auto EQ works nicely, The STRDN1000's sound is a touch
I'm sure the STRDN1000's lack of full 1080p upconversion is going to cause some people grief. However, keep in mind the asking price and what you plan on connecting to the STRDN1000. If all your sources are HD, especially native 1080p, then what do you need upconversion for?, There is a lack of digital audio inputs, three to be exact, two optical and one coaxial, which hardly seem like enough,
The Sony STR-DN1000 may just be one of my favorite receivers for around $500. What can I say? It hits all the right notes for me, it looks good, it's affordable and sounds better than you'd expect a sub-thousand-dollar receiver to sound. Sure, it's mis...

Abstract: Le STR-DN1000 de Sony veut offrir le son HD 7.1 à tous ceux qui sont équipés d'un lecteur Blu-ray. L'appareil compte, en effet, sur ses 7x85 watts, ses 4 entrées HDMI, sa technologie surround sans fil (optionnelle), sa capacité de bi-amplification, ...
