Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by David Brown Get ready to play Versatility is the key to any good home theater receiver. Just how much can it do? With the Sony STR-DN1040, the question should be, "What doesn't it do?" With built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, loads of connections for all your equipment, 4K pass-through and upscaling, and multi-room capability, you'll stay busy exploring this receiver's many features — and have a ball doing it. Covering all the bases for streaming music The 'DN1040 makes it easy to enjoy streaming music through your stereo or surround sound speakers. It starts with built-in Wi-Fi, so you can get connected to your home network without a wired connection to your router. Once you're networked, you can stream music from your iPhone®, iPad®, or iTunes® on your computer with Apple AirPlay. Not an Apple user? Then stream over Bluetooth from your compatible smartphone or tablet. Or pull music from that networked PC in your basement or office. Even without supplying your own tunes, you can listen to free Internet radio from Pandora®, Slacker, and vTuner on your receiver. Or you can plug your smartphone or tablet into one of the two front-panel ports — USB for Apple devices, and a special HDMI input for MHL-compatible Android™ devices. Add bounce to movie soundtracks Of course, the 'DN1040 is much more than the sum of its impressive streaming options. It's a powerful home theater receiver capable of driving a 7-channel surround sound system. Movie soundtracks will explode with realism, especially if you connect "surround back" or "front height" speakers to bring a more theater-like experience into your living room. Looking for a little more low-end rumble for your large room? A second subwoofer preamp output lets you add an extra sub, so movie sound effects will make you jump out of your seat. With 8 HDMI inputs, all the latest Dolby and DTS decoding, and plenty of digital and analog audio inputs, the 'DN1040 has all you need to get the most out of your speakers, HDTV, and all your music and movie sources. Hit the ground running with Sony's setup wizard It's easy to get the STR-DN1040 connected and running so you can start enjoying movies and music.

Just plug in the included microphone and let the receiver configure your speakers for accurate, balanced sound customized for your room. Once you're all hooked up and connected to your wireless network, be sure to download Sony's Media Remote app for your smartphone or tablet. It's the easiest way to control your receiver's most important features with touchscreen simplicity. Also try Sony's Network Audio Remote app for quick access to your digital music files.

Received item, described as a scratch & dent unit. Found out it also was a refurbished unit . Item was not listed as a refurb. HDMI problems with audio started after only a week. Returned, never will buy from Crutchfield. I'll use an online seller for audio-video gear from now on. Beware of Crutchfield & their dishonest actions. Pros: None Cons: Item not as described by Crutchfield. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No STR-DN1040 Written By TOM, HAMMONTON, NJ on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far so good, better sound than Onkyo 805 Receiver which I had before. Easy set up, you must read owner's manual though to improve what you would like in your home. FM actually plays well, first time for me with a receiver. I like the Net work and Bluetooth features and are very easy to program. Pros: Easy set up Great sound Sony product Cons: Display on receiver hard to read Would like to more options on the receiver itself rather than the remote There is no macro settings which I use to simplify on and off and use of equipment Was this review helpful?

I especially love the internet radio channels from around the world. easy to hook up and get going out of the box. cant beat sony for price and quality in home theater. Pros: just future proofed my living room ( and game room, I bought 2!) for the next decade. Cons: not compatible with my Microsoft zune Was this review helpful? Yes No Didn't work out Written By Darin, Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading reviews on this receiver I was excited to get it on sale. The on screen menu is very nice and speaker calibration was easy. Have had nothing but network problems with this unit and Airplay only works for about 30 seconds. Did an update and after 4 hours of watching unit flash updating I finally unplugged to reset. It continued flashing update for 15 minutes or so to finally complete. Overall very glitchy receiver. I think we got a lemon and unfortunately it is going back. Prior to the sale I was leaning heavily towards the Onkyo and that is the way we going. Crutchfield's customer service and tech support has been awesome with suggestions and walking us through everything. Pros: Nice screen menu Easy speaker calibration Cons: Confusing remote Network connection sporadic Airplay doesn't work with an all Apple product network 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By BrianW., West Liberty, Ky on Thursday, March 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is a great unit. Has everything you could want for a 7.2 setup. Automatic speaker calibration, Bluetooth, connection to wi-fi. I have my entire hope PC library at my fingertips with this receiver. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to upgrade their system to a 7.2 audio setup, and its ready for the 4K invasion. Pros: Plenty of power with 4k ready features. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Hoping 3rd time's a charm Written By Erica, Fort Collins, CO on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound is good, setup is easy. After an hour on the phone with Crutchfield's wonderful tech support, we found I had a defective receiver (ARC was not working). Received a replacement very quickly. Second one is buzzing when plugged in even with nothing hooked up to it and the power off. Waiting for the 3rd one now. Pros: Easy set up. Cons: Large footprint, two defective ones so far. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great, but... Written By Falcon307, Southern California on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very pleased with the performance of the STR-DN1040, but: 1) Like way too many others, I have experienced several HDMI-HDCP "handshake" issues. Once with my Samsung BD-F5900 Blu-ray player, and once trying to play an HBO program from my DirecTV DVR. Both times I was able to overcome the problem by unplugging the Sony AV Receiver. Firmware is the most recent s9327.1074.0 dated 09-13. TV is Panasonic Viera plasma TC-P65VT60. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this does not become more frequent. 2) I prefer to use the Netflix app on my TV rather than my Blu-ray. I would also prefer to use HDMI ARC for the audio from my TV when watching Netflix. But for ARC to work, Sony's "Bravia" CEC must be turned on. Bravia then tries to "take over" my system, turning components on and off incorrectly. (I use a Logitech Harmony remote.) Therefore, I have Bravia off and use optical for audio from my TV to the Receiver. Cons: I wish that the STR-DN1040 had a switched AC outlet for my powered subwoofer so the sub would be off when the receiver is off. My old AV receiver had this feature, but I have not seen it on any receiver available in this price range. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By Anonymous, Philadelphia on Monday, February 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced a 13-year-old Harmon Kardon receiver with this so the differences were immediately noticeable for me. That said, the receiver was easy to set up, sounds great and meeting all my expectations. Pros: Great receiver for the money: Built in Wifi is fantastic, speaker setup is simple and pretty accurate without tweaks, Airplay, nice GUI Cons: Remote is not user friendly for non-AV people 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By MikeJ, Kennett Square, PA on Thursday, February 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good value for the money - system sounds great and has some very nice features Was this review helpful? Yes No AV Receiver Has Issues Written By Chalupadrop, Phoenix, AZ on Monday, February 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is everything I need in an AV receiver. I bought it after seeing positive reviews on the internet showing its extensive connectivity ability, multiple HDMI inputs etc. I have had the receiver for two weeks and everything worked fine until yesterday. The receiver has known issues passing the video from an HDMI input from the cable TV box to the HDMI out to the TV. I only found this out after looking at the Sony website. Many people are having the same problem and Sony is either blaming it on your TV or saying they are working on a solution. Today, the video from the Cable TV box is working again. Crutchfied techs recommend getting either a Yamaha or Denon receiver to avoid the problems with the Sony. I will keep it a few more days to see if it does not fail again. If it does, will be returning to Crutchfield for another brand. Note that the receiver is great WHEN IT IS WORKING. All other functions are very good. I would recommend steering clear of this receiver until you see reviews online showing that the video issues have been resolved. Pros: Great connectivity through WiFi, Bluetooth, airplay etc. Very good audio. Good graphical user interface for setting up and controlling the receiver. Cons: Known problem with connectivity to cable TV boxes. Video out is a flickering scrambled picture. Sony has issued one software update but has not resolved the problem 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By Fredb, Copperas Cove Tx on Monday, February 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is very nice. The built in wifi and Bluetooth is very good. The receiver has plenty of HDMI's and plenty of other hook ups. Airplay works fine too. The only complain I have with this receiver is the poor ipad control apps. There are three in all and none of them are any good in its self. You have tvsideview, AudioRemote, MediaRemote, all made by sony and neither controls the receiver very good and none of them will control everything like I would work it to. Having add a pioneer vsx-1021 and the controlAV2 app that control the receiver totally, I miss that with this one. You have to turn on the tv and use the provided remote to control it properly. Other than that it is a real nice receiver. It also runs a little hot! Pros: 8 HDMI Built in Bluetooth Built in wifi Airplay Cons: Remote Apps Run a little warm 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No "Hidden" features Written By RonT from Colorado, Estes Park, CO on Sunday, February 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The 1040 was a Christmas gift to ourselves, and this gift keeps on giving. Our first AV receiver, so if we are amazed at options long available, forgive me for being excited. 1) Nowhere is it mentioned in the documentation that a selected sound field is stored in memory PER SOURCE. This is wonderful! I thought I'd be changing a sound effect every time I changed a source, but the 1040 remembers the last one used. Very nice when changing sources from CD, to FM Tuner, to SAT/CATV, back to FM Tuner. 2) Internet radio via VTUNER! Wow, a whole world opened to us! BBC Scotland for a while this morning, then on to WWOZ in New Orleans! At first we were disappointed that "streaming" did not mean our PC sound (non-MP3's) would "play" to the 1040, but VTUNER has all the channels we listened to on the PC and hundreds more! Pros: Just about everything! (Now that I've learned more and more of the capabilities of the receiver). Cons: I wish it upsampled HDMI input. That would have been a sweet bonus. It IS possible to connect our Directv box via composite inputs and that will upsample, but I don't want the complexity of having two Directv inputs into the 1040 (HDMI and composite). Also, I wish there was a Windows program/app to remotely control the receiver from a networked PC. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Easy set up the onscreen menu makes it so a third grader can set it up. Cons: Can't think of any I love it. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Review Written By mk, New Jersey on Sunday, January 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just love this receives. It sounds great and was so simple to install. In fact, I like it so much, and was so impressed with the software that guided me through the entire set-up - am considering to buy a Sony Smart TV next time to replace the Samsung I have (Samsung is definitely not simple or intuitive). Customer service at Crutchfield was also great. 3 days after I installed the receiver, for some reason I was unable to get a picture on the television. I called Customer service (was New Years Day and didn't expect anyone to answer) but we walked through a couple scenarios to test the receiver and in the end he said he would have a new one mailed to be right away I got it 3 days later, replaced the original one (again - so simple to set-up) and returned the original - all at not charge to me. The new receives has worked great, sound is wonderful (love all the choices especially the concert settings!!!) and have had not problems whatsoever. Great product and Kudos to Crutchfield for their support!!!! Pros: everything Cons: nothing I can think of 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By Grs, Michigan on Friday, January 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an excellent product. Especially for the price. I bought this because my Dennon quit only after a few years. The sound is similar . Very good unit . My system is a Klipsh reference with three front and two rear. The front l/r have been bi-amped. The sound sources are satellite tv, blue ray disk, and a DVD changer. Pros: Good sound, good price, easy setup. Cons: The auto sound system does not work very well. Best to do a manual setup 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No STR Dn1040 Written By Sunny, San Diego on Monday, January 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) By far the best AV receiver, I've owned. Took some time for setup and initially had issues with the TV HDMI not being recognized by the receiver, however the latest firmware helped to fix the issue. Had to work with the sony customer care to setup the internet radio like Pandora and Sony entertainement network. Could have been much more user friendly. Pros: Plenty of HDMI ports, Air play, internet Radio, Sleek UI look Cons: Setup for the SEN can be simplified even more. Not the best audio sound, i've heard 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful theater receiver. Written By AC, Chicago, IL on Sunday, January 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My previous receiver was giving me troubles with the sound and I decided to upgrade to a theater receiver with HDMI's. The Sony STR-DN1040 was easy to install and now all my electronic appliances are connected to it. The sound is very clear and neat. I am sure that there are better theater receivers in the market but not at this price. I am very happy with it. Pros: A lot of HDMI's connections. Easy to install. Easy to use. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works Fine, as Advertised Written By David A, Commack, NY on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have no problem with the unit, which performs as advertised. To get the fifth star, however, I would have liked to have seen additional legacy inputs/outputs, such as an input for a turntable (which requires a separate pre-amp to use) and an output for a passive subwoofer. (I did have an old turntable preamp, so that was not a problem for me. I did have to purchase a separate amp for my old passive subwoofer. My other option was to buy a new powered subwoofer, which would have been even more costly.) Pros: Sounds great, works well, arrived without a problem. Setup went smoothly. I like the auto calibration feature for the surround sound. Crutchfield had the best pricing I could find on this unit as well. Cons: No input for turntable (without using a separate pre-amp); no output for a passive subwoofer. Also, the remote will not operate some of my other equipment and there are no posted codes in the manual or onlline for some brands. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This receiver is very nice with a lot of options; I have yet to check everything out but so far it works for me. The speaker setup did not work so I had to do it manually. Also, the hookups for speakers on the back were difficult to use, but not a big deal.....Haven't used airplay or any music services but don't expect it to be an issue. Pros: Nice look....Fairly easy setup and plenty of power. Cons: Hookups tough to use; Speaker setup did not work. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No I got a lemon Written By 360mitch, Seattle on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 After reading the reviews I was really pumped about getting my new STR-DN1040 receiver. It appears you will get a great product or a lemon. I got the lemon. After 2 days it started loosing the picture on the TV. "Signal Lost". Then it would come back and then go out aprox every 3 seconds. It would continually do this until I would unplug and plug it back in. Embarrassing when you hosting the game. Then it would be good for the rest of the day. It took just seconds on the internet to learn I was not the only one having this issue. Sony refuses to admit it could be the receiver. Stated it has to be my Direct TV DVR. Replaced, No help. Replace your HDMI cables. Did that, No help. It must be your TV. Sorry, I am not replacing my $1700 TV. I took it back and purchased the Yamaha RX-V675. Everything is working great. One thing I was not expecting with the Yamaha, but the picture is amazing compared to the Sony. Because I could not find one fix for this issue on the net, I did not even think of swapping for a new Sony receiver. So if you do decide to get the Sony, make sure you can return it if you get the lemon. There is no fix for the ones that have the HDMI output issue. Just do a quick search on internet and you will quickly see what I am talking about. Pros: Tons of features and great sound. Cons: Serious HDMI Handshake issues with no fix insight 10 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Dane B, San Diego, CA on Saturday, December 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wanted something to update my Pioneer Elite 82TXS receiver and this one fit the bill. I've been most impressed with the wireless network feature allowing me to play my music from my iPhone and iPad using Airplay. Works great. The setup software is far better than anything else I've seen, and the sound this puts out through my Orb speakers is excellent! Plenty of power and everything I'm running through it (cable box, DVD and PS3) works well through their HDMI connections. Haven't had any issues with the HDMI board that I've read about in other reviews, so couldn't be happier.

Yes No Super Sony STR DN 1040 Written By jammer, Sarasota, Florida on Monday, November 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) With the addition of all the modern components that make up a home surround sound system today, it was time for me to upgrade my receiver and speakers too. So after many nights researching and reading all the reviews on CNET, Audiophile, Crutchfield etc. I decided this Sony receiver had everything I wanted and needed from a receiver, so i took the plunge, and I very glad I did. This receiver is just amazing! 8 HDMI connections makes it so easy to just plug everything into the receiver and 1 HDMI cable to the TV and your done! I was very impressed with the easy set up, speaker calibration, and the sound is terrific! I would highly recommend both this receiver and Crutchfield, they were very helpful and everything arrived well packaged and on time (thanks Drew) great job! Trust me you will not be sorry with this receiver or Crutchfield's wonderful customer service. Pros: Bluetooth, WiFi, easy set-up, great sound Cons: None, the entire system now sounds like the system I had always hoped to have. Very impressed and very happy!! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Receiver Written By Kevin T, Bartlett, IL on Saturday, November 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Receivers have come a long way since I bought my first one (1974) This receiver has a lot of features built into it whereas years before you had to hook up various add-on equipment, have multiple switches, wires everywhere, you had to label everything, thus this receiver eliminates nearly all of that. At a very competitive price, this Sony has a lot of the features the more expensive Denon & Onkyo receivers have and sound just as good. I have a 12 inch Polk Audio sub hooked up to it with a 42 inch soundbar & 2 rear wireless speakers, I think I'm in a theater when I'm watching a BluRay movie!!! Pros: I love the feature that you can hook up multiple HDMI components to it and only have one out cable, plus the option of a pass thru HDMI, Bluetooth, several speaker outputs, 2 subwoofer outputs, Apple Air Play, 2 yr warranty, the list goes on..... Cons: No turntable input, no removable power cord. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Rendition - Audio, Video Written By Ravi, Metuchen, NJ on Thursday, November 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far I have a very good product experience and delivery by Crutchfield was flawless- I played movies on Blue Ray, Netflix on my Home Theater projector. Also, I heard FM Radio, Pandora. Fanstastic. Next I will see how it works when I get TV 3D. Yet to experience the Zone 2. I like the fact that I have two HDMI output. So TV and Projector can be sourced through the receiver. Pros: Awesome sound quality. You can immerse completely owing to the quality of experience. I can hear distinctly almost all sounds in my 7.1 sound system Cons: None so far 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The Great Sony STR-DN1040 Written By BrianM, Raleigh NC on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this is a tremendous receiver. Very easy to set-up and enjoy top quality sound at a great price. The auto set-up is both easy and provides a great sound based on your room dimensions. Once you know the receiver I recommend removing the auto setting and really getting the most out of the power plant. I paired this receiver with a Bose surround system and (2) additional Yamaha front speakers for an incredible sound system. The Bluetooth is great and along with the WiFi, streaming music is super easy. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Had sufficient HDMI, wireless, Bluetooth all in one at an affordable cost. Sounds pretty nice too hooked up to the built in speakers Pros: All-in-one, affordable compared to others Cons: Nothing really 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Missing Optical output, s-video input, buggy firmware Written By Loh P., San Francisco, CA on Monday, October 21, 2013 The unit seems too complex for its own good. The firmware has some quirks that make it frustrating to use: e.g. getting to the built in settings menu is not straightforward. Pros: Plenty of digital inputs and built-in features. Cons: No optical digital output -- many modern speaker systems ONLY have an optical input. No S-Video input for legacy sources. The built in internet services like Pandora can't send sound out through the HDMI output to the TV if that is a requirement; the "AMP+TV" sound routing setting is not persistent -- you have to re-select it each time you turn on the unit. This mode is a requirement for me. 4 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best I've owned!!! Written By Maverik259, California on Sunday, October 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great design although the wattage is quite misleading at 165w x 7 channels. It's actually more like 100 or 110 I believe. The 165w is to one channel driven. The passive airplay is great as you just have to play the music from your device and select the receiver as the output and it automatically turns the receiver on via the Internet. Also the GUI in this model is much better than previous years. Pros: Passive Airplay, hdmi inputs, GUI, 4k upscale Cons: Misleading power rating. I can't get the wifi to work, only a hard line connection to my network works despite it seeing my network. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: As I said it does what it's made to do. Cons: Too many button features. Seems unnecessary to have so many buttons. If somebody messes with your setup, good luck getting working again. Also it turns off on it's on some times. Seen this twice but not sure if it's a power save feature. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Works well with my other sony gear and airplay is outstanding. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Very good receiver Written By Kevin M, North Royalton, OH on Sunday, September 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced my old SONY audio receiver with this one. Initially I will be using this primarily for audio, then integrating video later. I am copying my digital music collection to a WD box (hard drive) and needed HDMI connectivity. I am also using the Bluetooth feature to play satellite radio on my home audio system using my android tablet to control it. Everything works very well. I found it very easy to connect to the internet, enable the Bluetooth feature and rehook my old components. Even my old JBL speakers sound very good with this receiver. My grading scale for a new product is the lesser I need to refer to a product manual, the better the product. This product is pretty intuitive and the menus were easy for me to navigate my way through. Soon I will be replacing my home theater receiver (different floor) as well and will strongly consider getting another one of these receivers. As far as reviewing Crutchfield, there is none required....they are simply the best to deal with, Pros: Feature rich receiver at an excellent price, great sound, easy setup.

This really does a great job of making all the Sony products, TV and DVD work as one unit. The sound is much superior to the older Yamaha reciever that it replaced. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great receiver Written By Jeremy M, Tallahassee, FL on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased from Crutchfield and it came boxed well and with extras that Crutchfield is always known for including. A book of wire labels was very helpful when I was running the surround sound through the walls. The receiver worked great, plenty of power and ez to setup. It works with everything I hooked up to it including tv, ps3, and directtv genie. Souns is amazing and has plenty of hdmi ports for convenience. Banana plugs fit well into speaker inputs. Hooked up with the Energy 5.1 speakers and panasonic vt60. Pros: Great sound, wi-fi updates, airplay, bluetooth. Cons: none I have found yet 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Reciever for the price Written By Scott, Tucson, AZ on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading several reviews I eventually purchased this receiver. It is replacing a Yamaha RXV-2600 that was retired as I needed more HDMI inputs. All I can say is the sound quality is superb! This unit is driving a 7.1 Paradigm Millenia One set-up with a Seismic 110 sub-woofer. After running the easy set-up, I had to adjust the settings as they rated my speakers as large and for some reason set the sub with a +10 DB boost and set the distance at 25 ft. (Ran for flat response) Simple matter of changing the settings and running the PBK from Paradigm prior, really opened up the bottom end. This receiver is really versatile and interfaces with my Samsung BD-F7500 Blue Ray Player, Xbox 360 Elite, and Sony PS-3. All connected by HDMI with output to 70" Vizio M-701 LED TV. All I can say is wow! For a receiver at this price this does everything and more than my Yamaha did several years back, and cost less than 1/2 the price! Very pleased with my purchase, and Cruthfield shipped and processed my order with no issues. Pros: Great sound, versatile, GUI is the best in the industry, plenty of inputs, 4k up-scaling and pass-through, Great price for what it does. Cons: Room auto correct is not that accurate. More versatility within input settings would be nice. Ability to change/ delete inputs not used from the menu. Having volume display show on-screen via overlay vs. on the receiver's front panel display only. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No The jury is still out ... Written By newsmike, Ohio on Sunday, August 04, 2013 I have a new STR-DN-1040 receiver, and the build quality is great, and I love to number of HDMI inputs and the superb GUI. However, the receiver is adding noise to the video signal routed through the receiver. I have a Sony S790 Blu-Ray and an HD cable box each connected via HDMI to the receiver, and the receiver's HDMI out goes to a new Samsung plasma TV (5500 series0 The picture from either source includes a good bit of snow when routed through the 1040. There is no problem or video noise when either source is connected directly to the TV via HDMI. The cables are hi-speed; I've double checked connections, tried moving the receiver output from HDMI A to HDMI B; turned off "fast view" and 4K scaling; and tried a full reset of the receiver, but I'm still getting a light "snow" on the final picture. in addition, the HDMI standby switch does not appear to be working, and I've made sure that it is activated. I'm finding this very disappointing, since I bought this receiver specifically for its HDMI switching capabilities, I've got a message in to Sony, so we'll see how it goes. I hope to updare my rating to a 5 soon! 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Str-DN1040: Working those big speakers for you budget audiophiles Written By Woodrow, Seattle, WA on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this to replace an Onkyo which was dated enough to have no HDMI ports. I didn't expect it blow it out of the water and it doesn't But that receiver was like 1,200 when it came out and put out 135 high quality watts. But it is and improvement. The range seems better. Higher highs and lower lows. On screen interface is really nice. Lots of options. I have mine set to 'direct in' and 'pure analog' and the sound, well, it's just awesome. Using two JBL tower speakers with two 10' inch subs each and powers them well. Pros: High performance and wattage for this price range. Lots of options. Plenty of HDMI ins and two outs. Not very large, and surprisingly not a nearly as heavy as I might have expected given quality. Makes me want a house so I could really crank it! Cons: Took me a while to get it set up. Though I guess that can be expected of really any new receiver. I'm inputting to it from my home computer with a sound card and it took some doing to get a happy marriage with the two. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Sony STR-DN1040 Written By Phil, Richardson, TX on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver. Easy to set up the sound field. I just wish it was easy to set up everything without having to buy a TV with HDMI inputs (our plasma is still doing well after almost 10 years). Pros: Sounds great. Easy to set up sound field. Cons: Needs instructions on how to set up other parameters using just the display on the receiver (manual covers HDMI display output on a TV). I know this can be done (stumbled on to the sound field set-up), but it is not covered in the manual. Was this review helpful? Yes No You can't get better for the price. Written By Spencer, San Diego, CA on Saturday, June 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've got it connected to Mirage Nanosats and a Mirage OS3-CC as well as a Martin Logan Dynamo 1000 subwoofer. The STR-DG800 that I was going to replace was no slouch. It powered all my speakers with aplomb. When I connected the DN1040, the sound quality improvement was very obvious. EVEN AT LOW VOLUME. Before getting this receiver, I dabbled a comparable Denon. The Denon sounded great--especially when played at louder volumes. But the bass was gone at lower volumes and sometimes prevented my subwoofer from waking up. The DN1040, on the other hand, has a specific audio feature that optimizes it for low-volume. The Sound Optimizer alone is a reason to get one of these. I cannot tell you how useful it is for techy dads who enjoy the home theater experience while the infant and toddler and wife is asleep. It's pretty amazing how much technology can be squeezed into this price point. I'm not certain there's another price-comparable receiver with this many input options. It's also pretty reassuring to watch movies and listen to music through a receiver from a company that actually has movie studios and record labels. You can see that Sony has obsessed with things such as the chassis design to minimize noise and DSP algorithms calculated from actual concert halls. Crazy. It definitely punches far above its weight class. Is it worth the extra $150 over the STR-DN840? For me, yes. MHL, more HDMI (both in and out), more power, and a sweet, sweet GUI. Pros: MHL is so useful. It's a great way for my 2 year old to Skype with her grandparents from a smartphone and see them on the TV. I've also experienced zero-lag with MHL. I've played Modern Combat 4 from my phone on my TV as if it were a gaming console. The first time you experience it is mind-blowing. Also, it charges the device and plays the audio. The bass is rich at all volumes (likely due to having larger capacitors & a power supply in its class). The GUI is great, too. Cons: Playing audio using AirPlay with the receiver off does not automatically turn the receiver on. There is no on-screen volume display on my receiver. Not a deal-breaker for me, but if you have your receiver behind a cabinet door or within a rack, I can see that as being an issue. The microphone calibration is a little antediluvian. It actually ships with the same mic that came with my several-generations-old DG800. The Denon has this Audyssey mic calibration that 21 out of 23 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great receiver for it's price/features Written By Drew, Frederick, MD on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So I have been a Sony fan for a few decades.....only ever purchased ES line receivers and equipment but decided to try this one out for the basement, and although skeptical I was actually pleasantly surprised. Have this paired with an OPPO BDP-103 a Sony KDL-70R550A and Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 surround setup with the 1000 Center and the additional 2nd 800 sub. And again the receiver is well perfect for what I need it for great network options, plenty of inputs, tons of available power and this coming from someone who has owned or owns 6 different ES receivers as well as a few high end Denon models well there are no complaints NONE and to say that is well not typical, it does everything you could ever want for the price (and I have spent 5K on a receiver in the past) so to say its flawless (at this price point) says a lot. If you want 8 HMDI inputs future 4K up-scaling plenty of power, Bluetooth linking Airplay, well then click add to cart and order as I am sure as I was you will not be disappointed 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The AV receiver's Surround Back/Front Height amplifier channels can be configured to accommodate your type of home theater setup. Surround Back: Allows you to enjoy high-fidelity reproduction of Dolby Digital TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD (High-Resolution Audio or Master Audio) with 7.1 channel surround, using the Surround Back speaker channels. Front Height: You can enjoy vertical sound effects if you connect two additional Front-Height speakers in Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode. No Surround Back speakers in this configuration. B-Speakers: If you are only connecting a 5.1ch speaker system, you can use the Surround Back/Front Height amp channels as a Speaker B output, allowing you to place a pair of speakers in another room of the house. Speaker B can be played at the same time of Speaker A, or by itself. Speaker B uses the same volume control and source input as Speaker A. Front Bi-Amp: If you are not using the Surround Back/Front Height at all, you can connect them to your front speakers using a bi-amplifier connection (if applicable). This provides even better sound quality from your front speakers. Your home theater setup will be limited to 5.1ch. Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) w/ A.P.M (Automatic Phase Matching): The Sony STR-DN1040 is equipped with Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration Technology which uses the included microphone to automatically check the speaker connections, adjust the speaker output levels, calculate the distance from each speaker to the listening position, check for phase, and distinguish frequency characteristics of each speaker. The microphone has an 15' cord attached that plugs into the microphone input on front of the receiver. You can also choose to manually adjust the AV receiver's speaker settings. Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) Mode: The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows you to listen to high fidelity sound and select the decoding mode for listening to a 2-channel stereo sound as multi-channel.

To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the AV receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI. HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD D.C.S): HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is Sony's new innovative home theater technology using the latest acoustic and digital signal processing technologies. It is based on precise response measurement data of a mastering studio. With this mode, you are able to enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies at home with not only the high quality of sound, but also the best sound ambience, just as the movie's sound engineer intended in the mastering process. You can choose from four HD-D.C.S movie modes (Dynamic, Theater, Studio, or Sport) and six music modes (Berlin P.Hall, Concertgebouw, Musikverein, Jazz Club, Live Concert, or Portable Audio). Direct Modes: The Sony AV receiver offers two Direct audio modes for higher fidelity sound. Analog Direct: The receiver's Analog Direct mode outputs audio from only the front left and right speakers without any tone or DSP processing; only the volume and front speaker balance adjustments are active. Pure Direct: To further enhance sound quality, the receiver's Pure Direct mode not only bypasses the tone and DSP processing, but also turns off the front-panel display to suppress any noise which may affect sound quality. Headphone Modes: The receiver offers two distinct headphone sound modes. HP 2CH: Sets the receiver to power only the front left and right speakers, no surround and no subwoofer. Two channel sources bypass the sound field processing and multi channel sources are down-mixed to 2 channels.

Advanced Audio Settings: These advanced audio settings allow you to tailor the sound to your source content, listening conditions, and your personal preferences. Equalizer: You can adjust the tonal quality (bass & treble level) of the front speakers from -6dB to +6dB, in 1dB steps. D.L.L. (Digital Legato Linear): The Digital Legato Linear function is a Sony proprietary technology that allows low quality digital audio signals and analog audio signal to be played back with high quality sound. Sound Optimizer: The Sound Optimizer lets you enjoy clear and dynamic sound at low volume levels. It automatically calibrates the sound which cannot be heard well when you turn down the volume level. After Auto Calibration is performed, the sound level is optimized to suit your environment. Dynamic Range Compressor: This feature allows you to compress the dynamic range of the sound track. You can select standard or maximum compression, or off (only works with Dolby Digital sources). Auto Volume: Auto Volume adjust the volume automatically depending on the input signal or content from the connected equipment. This function is useful, for example, when the sound of a commercial is louder than the TV programs. Center Lift Up: By using front high speakers, you can lift up the sounds of the center speaker to an appropriate height on the screen, allowing you to enjoy a more natural representation. Audio Inputs/Outputs: The Sony STR-DN1040 offers a variety of analog and digital audio inputs/outputs. Digital Inputs: The receiver has two optical digital inputs and one coaxial digital inputs (all assignable). You can choose auto decoding or PCM for the digital audio inputs.

The Topeng or Mask Dance on the island of Bali is one of the most popular dance-drama loved by the Balinese as it tells about local lore and historical tales of royal lineage performed in scenes of every day life.
The Topeng dance is both entertaining at the same time it instills profound wisdom. It has both slapstick comedy and sophisticated refinement.
Popular comedy and wisdom is presented by the comic actors who often digress from the main story line to insert jokes on current issues or latest gossips usually in the coloquial Balinese language,that the audience just loves. For this reason, a Topeng performance can be drawn out for hours
The first dancers usually to appear are the pengelembar or introductory characters, depicting ministers at the royal court.
Next is the penasar, the most important character, since he is the storyteller, royal servant, stage director and at times also music conductor, all in one. He extols the virtues of the king in the high Balinese language. He is then accompanies by his sidekick Kartala, and the two engage in slapstick antics. Both wear half masks, covering forehead and nose only to allow easier speech.
Finally the king arrives, who enters with refined steps and gestures, denoting his royal status. Wearing a full mask, the king does not speak, as the penasar translates the king's gestures and commands.
The story usually tells about a kingdom to be conquered or a person to be rescued. The members of the opposing kingdom then appear, portrayed in all kinds of costumes and guise. Some with long teeth, there are burlesque women, at times even comic looking tourists appear on the scene. This is when the audience goes wild with laughter at the actors' costumes and masks and jokes bantered about.
In between all this, however religious values on piety and honesty are always inserted.
It is through the Topeng Dance that Balinese learn their history and current issues and values to adhere to, that are explained to the people in a very popular and entertaining manner.
At the end of the story, Good invariably wins over Evil, where the bad guys retreat in defeat.
Although the Topeng Dance has actually existed before the arrival of Hindu and Buddhism on Java and Bali, however, the art has taken grown only since the 15th century and has remained popular with grass root communities until today.
Stories are often taken from the Babad – or classical history, but popular are also stories on local history,heroes, popular myths, and fables, and are normally accompanied by the gamelan orchestra. In Topeng, there is a conscious attempt to include many, sometimes contradictory, aspects of the human experience: the sacred and the profane, beauty and ugliness, refinement and caricature
Bali knows a number of Topeng or Mask Performances:
The Topeng Pajegan is played by a solo actor who represents several characters. Topeng dancers are masters in expressing different characters, as they have to make the static mask come alive with different personalities portrayed both through gestures and body language.
The Topeng Panca is played by four or five dancers, each dancer portraying a particular character as requred by the story.
The Topeng Prembon show mixed characters taken from the Topeng Panca and the dance-drama Arja. In the Topeng Bondres, comic characters are a dominant feature.
While best loved is the Topeng Tua, which is a solo performance, where the actor expresses dance movements of an old man. .
In Bali, there are sacred Topeng dance-dramas that may only be performed at religious ceremonies and rituals, while others are profane. Such masks can be bought in many souvenier shops especially around Mas and Ubud, or can be made to order.

Dr. Kevin King, Associate Professor of Theology at Liberty University spoke of the three foundational principles to living a life of significance. He used the life of Caleb from Joshua 14 as an example. He stated that to live a life of significance, it first begins with having great confidence in the Word of God.
