Negative Positive
Title: OK for the price ....
Review: Since I don't use the surround sound system all the time I don't want to use any receiver as source select. I want to use the HDMI inputs on my plasma TV and just send the audio (from the TV) to a decoder when I want surround sound. Therefor the pass-though only audio HDMI on the SONY is very user un-friendly for my use. It requires to use the receiver as a source select and be on for any kind of TV watching. Not a problem if you use the surround sound all the time, but as I said, many times I just want the regular TV audio. In addition, although PRO-LOGIC decoding is a standardized technology, I found the decoding fairly poor. A case of you get what you pay for and I don't want to knock the product. I should have read the description on the SONY better, because I would have not bought it for my circumstances.
Is the review positive or negative?
