- The diff between the 970 and 1070 is that the 970 has no center
- channel AMP. It does have a center channel output, but you need
- to use a powered speaker (or amp + speaker) for the center channel.
- I was helping a friend buy an AV receiver earlier this year, and he
- ended up spending the extra $$$ for the 1070 because of the center
- channel amp. The salesman reccomended it over other receivers because
- he said the surround decoder was better than others (specifically JVC).
- My friend had a JVC TV with built-in surround amp and had noticed that
- the surround would cut in and out on some program material.
- JVC owners please don't get pissed, I'm only telling you what the salesman
- said an what my friends experience was. He reports no problems wit his
- Sony.
