I purchased and installed the DG-520 about 6 months ago and its proved to be an excellent amplifier.

Set-up was fairly easy. There are... Read more

The given instructions were simple enough to follow. Knowing that I have a last of the Sony tube type TV's the back panel was cut and dry. While setting up the firmware, I found new terms and stayed away from things I did not understand, and things moved right along until I finished. I connected... Read more
