 Powerhouse of sound May 9, 2008

My entire system consists of this, PS3 for BD player, STR-DG720 for my reciever, SAW2500 for subwoofer, SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers, and SS-CR3000 for my center and rear channels. I'm going to have to buy the SS-B1000's for my surround channels. I am very impressed with this receiver. I just watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind in DTS-HD MA audio (PS3 decodes it internally sending the signal in LCPM to the receiver). The sound is absolutly clear and amazing, it made a huge difference. On my old receiver, I would have to crank up the sound to around 50 for movies and 35-40 for music. Now for a movie all I have to do is turn it to around 33-35 and I am flooded in an ocean of sound. I have a Zune connected into the system as well, it makes my music more alive. This receiver has everything that I could want and more. If you have a player that can internally decode HD codecs (Dolby TruHD and DTS-HD MA) like the PS3 and you want to save a couple hundred dollars, this is the system like you. Sony has stepped up their quality in home audio greatly.

It would have been nice if you could lable the inputs. I have HDMI for my cable and composite video for my DVD. I had to use SAT as my DVD. Seems like everything else lets you label the input yourself (including Sony TV's).
Sony STR-DG720 April 8, 2008

I recently bought the Sony STR-DG720 about 1.5 weeks ago, and this receiver does everything it should. No issues thus far, and the receiver works with Harmony 550 remote though the Logitech site does not have the codes for the remote yet so you have to self program the Harmony 550 remote for now to work with the 720.
Setup was pretty easy, and the automatic speaker settings was easy with using the provided Sony MIC.
Sound quality is amazing with watching Digital TV, HDTV and DVDs with enough power to power my BOSE 5.1 Speaker system.
 Wait and See? Replacing a DG710 March 10, 2008
M. Daneker (Spinnerstown, Pa USA)

I just ordered this from Sony (product available on 4/4/08, so I have three weeks or so until they ship.) I had a DG710 and although the description read that it accepted LPCM through HDMI the reality was it only accepted 2.1 LPCM through HDMI! You have to use Bitstream and DD or DTS for 5.1 or 6.1.
I was furious, I contacted Sony customer support and they didn't know the DG710 didn't play 5.1 LPCM! They told me it was defective. I returned it and the same problem occurred with the new one. So I am returning the new one and I ordered the new DG720. All the Sony STRDG models have been upgraded to from 510, 710, 810 and 910 to 520. 720, 820 and 920. The difference, now they all handle surround LCPM. The STRDG720 also has 1 more HDMI than the 710, and that's exactly what I need so I am very happy about that change.
If it doesn't work I will update this review around the middle of April.
