I was at Tweeter in Burlington, Mass a couple of days ago and they had a Sony 4ES on clearance at $488!

did you try to change the audio/video input on your receiver? For instance, I have to switch my receiver with the remote to "audio 2" to be able to see the DVD input. Hary

Josh, I have 4ES too and I was getting really pissed off with that sucky remote! I bought a Radio shack RS2116 ($30) and it works perfectly. The only thing is that you have to program it thru a JP-1 cable connecting to the parallel port of your computer, because the codes for the sony...

I bought mine $615 shipped fromsammans back in november! Good luck with your purchase, the 4ES is a super receiver! Hary

Chris, Which dealer is that? This is a fantastic price.

What I'm saying is that the codes that allow the URC remotes to control the receiver only work in AV1 mode. You should not have to do anything else. If none of the codes work, I would suggest to call URC /One For All and ask them for other codes. The other thing I was saying was that you...

No. I also listen to my 4ES at high volume level and no noticeable hiss or noise so far. I'm very happy with the sound and features of this receiver. Hary

Hi Chris, Sony receiver usually have 2 modes AV1 and AV2, the original one used for your sony remote being AV2. Switch to AV1 and let me know what code works at least for the basic controls (power on/off, volume, ..). The usual codes are 0158, 0159, 1058, 1158... Just to let you know, Sony...

Dave, I don't know this receiver, but you have to check that it does video upconversion from composite (your yellow RCA) to s video. My Sony STR-DA4ES does it but I'm not sure many receiver have this feature. If it does not (like I think), just run another yellow RCA cable from your...

Louis, This forum is highly pro-denon / Harman, but I can tell you that all the ones who bought this piece consider it a fantastic receiver with plenty of features and power. I have one myself that I bought from sammans who is an authorized dealer from NY at $615 shipped (ordered by...

No problem Alain, please let me know your email address and I'll send you the file tonight when I get home. I actually used an existing file found on the JP-1 group at yahoo.com using the same sony device codes (16 and 144) as the 4ES, then I just finetuned it, remapped some buttons and added...

Josh, I have a 4ES as well and I found the remote not very easy to use, especially to change cable channel. So I bought a universal remote, a Radio Shack 2116 (30$): http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=15%2D2116 The sony receivers are particularly difficult to program, but you can...

how about for DD-EX, what should the screen say? I tried Monsters Inc yesterday and my screen kept saying "Dolby digital 3/2.1", even though I had put the SB decoding on "matrix". The surround back was checked on the screen as well, but I thought it would say something specific for DD-EX...

I got my 4ES from sammans about a month ago at 600 + 15 shipping. They are an authorized dealer and the packing was top notch. Buy it! Hary

Aaron, It worked exactly as you said. Many thank for your help. Hary

Thanks Aaron. I'll try that tonight, but at first it does seem I have overlooked quite a bit of option set up. Hary

Hi Guys, I have a 4ES with a 6.1 set up. I tried to play Gladiator in DTS-ES and I believe it didn't decode the sound properly. It was set up on Normal surround, auto-decoding, and Surround back auto. The screen kept saying "Neo Cinema" which I believe is for DTS-NEo. Could you let me...

Thanks Tom. You're right it's not a big issue, but I thought there was a way to fix it. Hary

Hi Guys, I recently bought this DVD player based on this forum advise. I set it up in the On screen menu on progressive output, but the progressive light was not on so I switched it manually to progressive mode. Now, everytime I watch an anamorphic DVD and stop the DVD player, my TV...

just a percision: that was $600 + $15 shipping. You may even try if they would do a little lower ($575?). Anyways, their shipping was top notch as well. The ES came in an extra box only 3 days after I had ordered it. Their rep (Moe) was really easy to deal with (he said, I 'm quoting: "how...

I got mine shipped from sammans for $615, 2 weesk ago. Ask for Moe. They are an authorized dealer so i would suggest to stay away from Ebay as Sony would typically not honor the 5 year warranty on the ES line. Good luck. Hary
