What features has been upgraded from Sony STR-DN1040?
1803547
My STR-DN1040 has 8 HDMI inputs and they are all in use and the STR-DN1050 has no new compelling features - more like a downgrade in connections. Guess the 1040 is good for another year at least.

Redesigned remote, adding support for both aptX and NFC, one or two less HDMI inputs but adds a third HDMI output to support second zone, and improved second zone support (any source not just analog). Likely some other differences but this is what I have seen so far.

I own a 16 gig S545 and have had it for quite a few yeas now. The difference is that it records FM radio also. When I bought mine, a new one was about $120.00. It seems that none of their models have the FM recording feature anymore. Only voice recording. Other than that you really cant go wrong buying Sony.

alan's post is it in a nutshell. i have a zoom q3 that i record on a grand piano with, and the lack of at least a fixed "mid-gain" is the biggest drawback to the device. their new HD version doesn't address it either. too bad, because it is a nice little unit for the money.

Agree w/ comments below. Buy a current model. I picked up a Sony after my Samsung crashed for about $105

I have no idea, I bought mine from SounSeller in WI through Amazon and their add says nothing about "old version". You should inquire with the seller of this one (Portable Sounds). It may have something to do with the HDMI connection. My machine has performed very well so far with SACD. With CDs my Audio Research CD3 sounds better with some but others sound better on the SONY.

You may get more features & a better built but it doesn't give better sound & picture. I have the pioneer reference BDP-09FD at $2,500.00 and it now has problems playing new blu-ray discs. I purchased a $89.00 Sony in May of 2014 and it had just the same great picture & sound that the pioneer has,however i needed to return the Sony because it also had problems playing some blu-ray discs by freezing & the player turning itself off!? At this time no new firmware were available for these players. I'm done with blu-ray!

Yes - I would suggest that you download the user manual from the Sony site and give it a read. That should answer most all your questions.

I was considering these as well. Interested to see what others post. Here is my research has yielded for 7.1 systems with Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. A lot of people worry about upscaling, I only have blu ray player, so not much need for upscaling. Few do upscaling very well according to my research. Sony STR-DN1000: Nice HDMI connectivity, cleaner look, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD. I've heard upconversion is poor. $330 Sony STR-DH800: Does not upconvert analog sources. 100 watts per channel at 1% THD $250 Onkyo RC-160: Upconverts only to 1080i. 80 watts per channel at .08% THD $330 Onkyo SR-607: Upconverts to 1080p with okay quality, 90 watts at .08% THD $400 Pioneer VSX-919AH-K: .05% THD at 120 watts per channel, just 3 HDMI inputs, no upscaling capability $400 I realize these are Audio/Video Receivers, but it seems to me the main goal of most of them is for superior audio. After all, many TVs do a decent job making SD sources look better, even if you have to run an additional cable or two. To me, everything is going to be HDMI based, so I am leaning toward the Pioneer due to better power and less THD. $400 is very much on the high side of my budget. So if I decide to go with a cheaper receiver, I'll probably go with the Sony STR-DH800.

What player do you use it with, and do you notice improved picture, sound, or added functionality?

I have the STR-DN1000. Two days ago it started going into "Protection" and then shuts off. It might work for an hour, or only 10 minutes. Anyone else with the issue? And what did you do about it?It worked great until 2 days ago. I have had it since Dec 2009.Sony STR-DN1000 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black)

Iam made to understand that the Sony HDR-SR11 has been discontinued. I got this from a seller. How far true is that?

I've had info disappear if I scroll too rapidly, so I allow the drive to "catch up" Shen scrolling. Although Sony hasn't updated the firmware in quite some time, you might check to see if yours is current. Too bad sony no longer makes a carrousel.

No, and this model started having MAJOR upgrade issues. Get a sony or some other.

Hi Derran, use the Speaker Calibration settings of the Sony STRDH750 Stereo Receiver. This will let you check if the speakers are working and to change the db settings. -Vincent

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.
