Specs:

5.1-Channel Analog Inputs: No
Brand: Sony
Front Audio/Video Inputs: No
Power per Channel (in Watts): 100
RCA Audio Inputs: 4
Remote Type: Pre-programmed, unified
Station Presets: 30

Unlike many Sony products, this is one which everyone can understand just by the words printed on the front of the receiver itself. No need for a manual really.

This receiver is surprisingly popular these days (considering it's lack of up-to-date features). I used to sell it mainly to people who wanted a straightforward stereo system without going for those 'disposable' shelf systems so popular these days.

I would consider buying it for its ease of use, have I any need for a two-channel stereo receiver.

Basically, this unit will support 4 external sources and an internal AM/FM tuner. I once sold one to a radio station manager who had various radios throughout the building and wanted this unit to play 89.1 FM 24/7/365. That's great. That's what it's for. It's not a unit which is meant to handle home-theater.

The power output (I believe) is 100 watts...but as always, Sony's tend to fluctuate on that a bit.
It's remote is very straightforward and will also control other Sony devices.

Overall I rate this unit (on ease-of-use, features, and functionality at a 65%.
