Sony STR-DG810 or STR-DG910

Which receiver is the better of the two?

Sony STR-DG810 or the Sony STR-DG910. Some reviews + CNET on the 810 tend suggest that the 810 does not have good sound quality.

Quoting CNET below:

The bottom line: The Sony STR-DG810 delivers three HDMI inputs at a fairly low price, but connectivity, features, and sound quality shortfalls spoil the deal.


Thanks for the help!!

I have the Sony STR-DG510 for my bedroom. It's good for me. It's has inputs for 2 HDMI sources. One for my Blu Ray and the other for the cable box. For my family room I'm thinking of getting the STR-DG910 because, with the 910 you get analog-to-HDMI video conversion for sources like a VCR or Wii (PS2) game systems. Since niether of them have HDMI outputs.

I'm thinking of getting the Sony DG910 for the analog to HDMI as well.. I'll wait for the price to drop then buy it.

Thanks

I was waiting on the STR-DG910 to drop in price. I ended up getting a new Sony model DG720 last night for $286 with an instant 10% off.

So far all is good.
