Poor FM stereo
The first unit couldn't even find FM stereo stations. It had similar FM specs as the Sony ST_JX410 AM/FM Tuner it was replacing.It was returned as a faulty unit. The replacement STRDE 197 was able to find stereo FM stations which played fine in monoral but were noisy in stereo. My 25 year old JX410 tuner did an excellent job on FM stereo stations. The second unit was returned for a refund. Sony's quality isn't what it use to be. I bought an Onkyo TX-SR304. The FM works fine with more features &...

Only one thing missing.....
Sound is good, controls are good, easy to hook up.I have been an avid Pioneer Audio user, but I'm getting over it now, since Pioneer products seem to be getting more and more shabby.The only thing I would add to the Sony STRDE197 is the ability to scan stations with the remote control.You can't tune with the remote unless you have stations preset.Not a big deal, but it would be handy....

Use your head
Some of the complaints concerning this item are valid, but it is clear to me that others did not do their research!Check the resistance of your speakers.

An Inadequate Receiver
I bought this receiver from Amazon, & received it about 10 days ago.Since then, I've tried to play my cassettes of classical music.When used for this purpose, this receiver sucks big time.If I turn the volume loud enough to hear the orchestra playing softly, when the orchestra gets loud the amp shuts down & PROTECT flashes on & off.I have to turn the receiver off, then turn it back on, & lower the volume.Then of course when the music gets soft again, I can't hear it....
