The good: The Sony STR-DN1020 has built-in networking, allowing it to stream Slacker and Internet radio, along with digital music on your home network, over DLNA. It's also the only AV receiver in this price range to include an external iPod dock.
The bad: All competing receivers offer more HDMI inputs. The STR-DN1020 also has fewer streaming-media services than competitors and lacks built-in AirPlay, and its subpar graphical user interface makes its networking features less attractive. We also found its sound quality put it a step behind other midrange receivers.
The bottom line: The Sony STR-DN1020 isn't a bad AV receiver, but it lags behind its competitors in just about every attribute we consider important.

a good unit

Pros: Bravia sync is great. Sound is excellent quality with heaps of power. Plenty of volume through my 200W B & W speakers. It plays 24 bit FLAC files from my computer, and connectivity with mu Blu ray and PVR with HDMI is good.Has more features than Iuse
Cons: GUI is a bit lean.
With a few things connected sometimes the bravia sync is a bit unpredictable as to what will turn on /off
Summary: I find this amp does exactly what I require. Good fidelity when using quality input material and ample volume using suitable speakers. I couldn't justify spending more money on ...

Terrible under-powered noisy amp with 1990's usability
by joshuaguttman on August 15, 2011
Pros: Great amp if you are deaf.
Cons: I have a Sony DA777ES that I love but it is missing all the new features like HDMI and support for more advanced audio encoding. I went to the store and again asked for the best sony amp they had. I got this piece of junk. The GUI was terrible, the sound
