FS: Sony Dolby Pro Logic high power amplifier/receiver

[Bozz]

This is the amplifier I use for the computer and it has thousands of features I never use, I'm replacing it with an ancient two channel amplifier which I have sitting around....

Specs-

Power output:

Front - 120W RMS / Channel (160W Peak) / 8 Ohms

Havent got a listing for RMS power into 4 Ohms although peak is 225W

Rear/centre 50W RMS / Channel

THD - 0.3%

No listing for IMD

The amplifier uses discreete transistors in the power amplifier stage of all channels (ie not the cheap integrated IC type that many companies use)

Dolby Pro Logic - Hundreds of different surround sound options available, each speaker can be increased/decreased in volume in 1dB increments

Video switching, all video inputs go into the receiver and it does internal switching if you want to copy from DVD-VCR or VCR-VCR and watch something else etc.

AM/FM tuner with 30 presets.

Sony VisionTouch full IR control system - this unit learns all other units remote tranmissions and it can be programmed to control up to 8 devices via infra red - these devices can be from any manufacturer, they do not have to be Sony. IE if you switch the receiver to CD mode, it will send out an IR signal to turn the CD player on and start playing automatically, depending on how you program it. When you put it on TV mode it will switch the telly on, it has a function "All Off" that turns everything off one by one. I have even programmed it to control our air conditioner which has a remote control. It is menu driven and uses an on screen display on your telly to program it. It is necessary to have it hooked up to a TV when you first start using (and to program it) it but after a short period of time you learn what everything does. The remote control is joystick controlled and it can either control the on screen display on the TV or on the front of the unit. It even has a switched AC output that turns on and off as you choose to control legacy devices without remote controls.

The unit has an infra red repeater than can be positioned away from it (or in another room) to control devices.

This unit is one model down from Sony's best consumer amplifier that they released a few years ago and retail was about $1200.

Model is STR-DE805G I dont think I'll even get half of what its worth but I'm open to offers if anyone's interested.

I have the instruction manual for it too although I dont have the box and packaging.
