Title: Junk
Review: As a former Sony fan, I bought one of these because of the HDMI switching. Sadly, the thing could not reliably detect and decode a Dolby Digital bitstream from my Sony HD DVR. I had to either turn the unit off and on or switch back and forth between different inputs to get any audio. And the auto speaker setup didn't work very well. Pioneer and Yamaha receivers do a much better job with that. Also, the supplied remote would not accept some of the programming codes in the manual no matter how many times I tried. (And I have programmed a lot of remotes without any problem.) In my opinion, Sony doesn't care about quality like they used to.EDIT: I always read the manual and I have installed many receivers from various brands and never had one not recognize a Dolby bitstream. Sounds like junk to me.
