I bought the same home theater bedroom. I found a number of interesting proposals for the Avito and selected component set SONY HT-DDW760, which I still brought home free.
Includes receiver 5.1 STR-DE497P, active subwoofer SA-WMSP76, five small speakers, remote and DVD-player DVP-N355 in the bargain. It made it all in 2004, only some 14 years ago. :)
At first glance, for 3500 rubles is very cool, but of course there are nuances and drawbacks.
Due to the fact that the subwoofer is active, it has a separate mains power cord and turn on it only button on the case, respectively, remote subwoofer does not turn on or turn off. SONY Why did not the receiver elementary switchable power outlet mystery to me, okay, DIY - cases there for ten minutes.
Without a subwoofer is still playing as the most plastic Chinese player, subwoofer sound much better, but of course at the HIFI does not pull, but for a movie will come down.
My most important "bummer" it is that this STR-DE497P receiver is different from the "real" STR-DE497P, which is sold separately. This is another firmware, which removed the part of the speaker settings and firmly stitched type columns "Small", respectively, the sound is fed despite the powerful power amplifiers to the speakers without low frequencies. IN Service manuals from a good receiver of this model in addition to the settings in the menu, there is a secret combination of buttons DIMMER + ON to adjust speaker size, but it is, alas, it's not working. Of course, for use with regular speakers it's not a problem, but the idea of a possible replacement of the front speakers are more than decent failed. Maybe you can try to understand how the receiver includes a low pass filter and turn it off (it switches off when headphones are connected, but the receiver enters the mode 2.0).
Of course fourteen years for theater have left their mark, and the life of his shabby. Upon closer inspection, it looks not so nice.
Tell me more about what I bought. :)
Receiver STR-DE497P equipped with a radio with RDS, supports 5 analog and two digital inputs, decodes DD and the DTS, has a headphone output. There are many programs surround sound processing, given by the distance to each speaker, there is a volume setting of each speaker, tone control.
There is a multi-channel input, in addition to the audio switching have switching video, but for now it is irrelevant.
Inside, everything is serious. There are two power transformer - small and large standby primary. Because of this, it does not cost anything to make a controlled outlet for a subwoofer - just connect it to the wire leading to a large transformer.
Subwoofer SA-WMSP76 weighs 10 kg and has a 20-inch speaker. Serious subwoofer!
Unlike hifi-models there is no cutoff frequency adjustment and auto power switching phase of the input signal. Only the power button, level control, and the only entrance.
Front speakers.
I was hoping that they will be back cutouts for hanging on the wall, but instead only thread M8. Well, nothing, bought yesterday Furniture loops and eyelet for padlock. I attach.
Remote controller. Part of the buttons did not work. It turned out that inside the battery has leaked and flooded the board. I disassembled, laundered, earned. It is able to manage a variety of components from other manufacturers. White buttons glow in the dark.
Once this set of cost under $ 1,000, now I bought it for 3500 rubles, and the like on Avito very much. Of course I could afford to buy a bedroom in a modern receiver and good speakers, but he did not do it for two reasons: the place for big speakers out there very, very and there is still an auxiliary theater, as a full-fledged theater with large speakers Jamo, Yamaha receiver and 50-inch Panasonic plasma I have a great room.
P.S. Perhaps I was the only resident of Moscow, which has a two-room apartment in every room of your home theater with sound 5.1. :)
