i've owned 3 technics receivers since 1976, this is my 4th. i use it outside in my gazebo and they don't last as long cause of the weather, but that.s the way it goes. just use the stereo cause surround isn't very good quality outside. it turns on plays and sounds great. use 2 technics bookshelf speakers, 2 altec lansang electro-static on the A side , 2 more technics and 2 infinity 2 ways on the B side and a JBL 12" subwoofer. run all of it thru a antique realistic 12 band equalizer, with the power of the receiver it's perfect for me. Can't go wrong with these receivers.

This monster is LOUD! If you are looking at this receiver you probably already know what a great receiver this is. This is a used Technics SA-DX1040 made by Panasonic {{{ What really makes this receiver great is that it has 6ch analog inputs so you can take advantage of the new HD surround sound formats with a capable blu-ray player without having to dish out 100's of dollars to get the new hdmi equipped receivers. }}} Under the brand name Technics, the company produced a variety of hi-fi products, such as turntables, amplifiers, receivers, tape decks, CD players and speakers for sale in various countries. It was originally conceived for a line of high-end audio equipment to go against such companies as Nakamichi, but most of its home products have been rebranded as Panasonic starting in 2002 (except in Japan, where the brand is still popular)Read full review
This is a solid performing Dolby Digital/DTS receiver. It's loaded with plenty of av inputs and outputs. It has several soundfield settings in addition to Dolby Prologic, Dolby Digital and DTS processing. I bought this receiver from http://stores.ebay.com/Electronics-CDs-and-Vinyl-Plus as an inexpensive upgrade from Dolby Pro Logic to digital home theater. The receiver didn't come with the remote so I ordered a factory original remote for $35.00 from newremotecontrol.com (Check them out. They sell brand new remotes for many, many products) This receiver delivers outstanding performance in all of its surround soundfield/DSP modes and it is excellent in 2 channel stereo mode. It has 3 optical digital inputs but lacks any coaxial digital inputs. It would have been nice to have had at least 1 coaxial digital input to give the receiver more digital connection options(but, hey I saved a ton of money on this receiver). To compensate for this shortcoming, I purchased a coaxial to optical digital converter($11.00 @ wesellbargains.com) to connect my Panasonic DVD S53 dvd player to an optical input on the receiver. It tends to run a little warm but it does have a built in fan which kicks in at extreme operating levels. This is not a major issue because I usually run it at not much more than 1/3 power, 1/2 power at most. It puts out a lot of sound at even these levels. If I cranked it all the way up it would blow your socks off! I have owned many Technics products over the years and they have all been excellent for the price. This receiver has lived up to my expectations and it is a solid performer. I run this reciever through JBL J series speakers: front(J900mv) and surround(J800m), a JBL SC305 center channel and 2 JBL PSW1000 10 inch 100 watt subwoofers . Lots of bang for the buck with this setup. I will use this receiver for as long as possible because I am in no rush to shell out more bucks for an HDMI receiver. This will be just fine because I listen music more than I view movies and when I do watch movies this receiver performs flawlessly through the digital inputs it has onboard. When I eventually upgrade to Blu Ray video this receiver will be just fine for that as well. This receiver has an excellent cost to benefit ratio for my home theater. I definitely recommend Panasonic/Technics products and I highly recommend the SA-DX 1040 5.1 channel 500 watt receiver.Read full review
Great Receiver, was the top of the line in its time. Great sound and quality from Technics. I'm using it with a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers at my TV room. But because its supports more speakers, gonna buy a Woofer and 2 other satellite for headroom and the back side of the room.
Great
