From Digital Living Today
For the money, The STR-DE545 is surely one of the top AV receivers on the market. Its features surpass much more costly AV receivers, and its flexibility allows it to produce the kind of sound in your living room that you normally experience only at the cineplex. Many audiophiles describe the 545 as simply spectacular. Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and dts decoding are all controlled by a superlative, 24-bit DSP engine that ensures sound reproduction of a vividness you've never heard at home before. The 545's three-dimensional power is further enhanced by digital cinema sound modes modeled on measurements taken in actual Hollywood dubbing stages, as well as a Virtual Multi-dimension mode, that compensates for the limitation of having only one pair of rear speakers in your set-up at home. Furthermore, an adjustable delay feature allows you to tailor the surround effect to the specifics of your listening situation, thereby maximizing the illusion of a three-dimensional space. The 545 generates 100 watts per channel in both stereo and surround modes, has 3 digital outputs, an 8-function input selector, and an LCD remote control that can be used to control other devices as well. We could go on and on.

Customer Reviews

Great value for the money!
This is one great surround sound receiver! After picking up a DVD player, I needed a receiver that could do DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1. The Sony DE545 handles all my components with ease, and while you do need to input speaker information, location, size, etc., this fine tuning pays off! Movies like Braveheart and Jurassic Park shake the walls! I would highly recommend this product to anyone, but check prices, as I found mine at BestBuy for $249 on sale!

very happpy
I shopped around here in canada and this was the best value for the buck. It sounds great and the features go on and on. Great remote and I am very happy.

Extremely Happy
I have had mine for two years and do not have one complaint. The price was high at the time, but the Receiver has not disappointed me. It has plenty of outputs/inputs (especially) digital for a beginning to an intermediate level home theater system. I have not heard any hissing sounds. I am currenlty expanding my components and due to the 3 digitial inputs, am having no problems. The specs. say it has Pre-amp outputs, but I don't see them.
