$50 · Sony Receiver Model STR-DE685

Sony STR-DE685 Receiver. 100 watts per channel. I only used it for a stereo audio system, and it sounds fabulous. Cosmetically good, except on the top cover somebody has etched some numbers into the black paint. Remote not included. From the web... Experience all the thrills that 5.1-channel digital home theater has to offer! Sony's STR-DE685 boasts super-precise 32-bit processing to deliver gloriously three-dimensional sound from Dolby® Digital and DTS® soundtracks. You also get Dolby Pro Logic™ II, which lets you transform Dolby Surround and stereo sources into 5.1-channel sound, and Sony's exclusive Digital Cinema Sound DSP modes, which let you enhance any type of surround soundtrack with the ambience of your choice. You get plenty of ins and outs to build a great system, including component video switching for 2 sources, 4 digital inputs, a 5.1-channel analog input for an SACD or DVD-Audio player, and more! 100 watts x 5 channels of clean Sony power ensures dynamic multichannel sound. Two sets of main speaker outputs let you hook up stereo speakers in a second room (but you can only play one set at a time). The multibrand remote gives you easy control of your entire A/V system.
