Great upgrade to my aging Sony receiver

For the sake of brevity I will just say that this receiver works great, and with the price that I paid on Amazon completely worth every penny. The only problem I'm having and this could be operator error, is that I find that I have to turn the volume up to mid 20's and 30's especially when watching DVD's for it to be loud enough to hear completely(especially center/voices). I am using a mix of quality Kenwood towers/subs and Sony Surround, and know the speaker are correct ohm and power ratings...I personally prefer Sony receivers and will still choose them years from now when its time to upgrade again.

really good

the sound is much better than the old Onkyo receiver that it replaced. The HDMI hookup is so much better than the old component video/audio - easier, cleaner and a lot less wiring to clutter things up. I do not notice much difference in the picture, but sound is definitly better. Good value for the price. I would recommend this over similarly price receivers that only have HDMI pass through.

Good receiver for the price, was just expecting a bit more.

I was originally going to buy the Sony HT-SS2000 HTIB, but I decide on the STR-DG810 do to it's high star rating on here, some of the reviews that I read on the AVSforum and for it's HDMI Switching capability. I have a PS3 & HD DVD player connected to it via HDMI, which took the hassle out of running a ton of wires to my TV, which only has one HDMI input. As for speakers, I am using Harmon Kardon's HKTS-14 speaker set. It's great to be able to hear HD movies with HD sound. However, I'm somewhat disappointed in the volume of sound. I have to have the volume at about 35 (goes up to 63 if I remember correctly) to even begin hearing the sound. It never really gets loud like I would've expected from this 110w per channel receiver (even my dad said it was pretty weak sounding). My friend's 6-year-old Panasonic HTIB sounds louder with his volume knob not even fully cranked (better signal to noise ratio?) Maybe it's due to the fact that my setup is in an unfinished basement (my buddy is in a 14x12 room), with somewhat small speakers... but I honestly was expecting it to sound louder, not better (it already sounds good... just want it a bit louder for when I'm watching scary movies).
