Title: Avoid at all costs!
Review: Avoid the Sony STR-DG710 receiver at all costs! I owned it for 2 days before returning it. The promo literature says "Optimized for Blu-ray Disc", and that is an outright lie! I bought it for my PS3 for Blu-ray playback because my old Sony receiver only had digital optical audio input, and optical is limited to only 2 channel PCM. Well, guess what? The HDMI audio on this receiver is limited to only 2 channel PCM. Dud! You need to go with at least the DG810 to get 5.1 PCM audio. After a Sony tech rep told me that, I returned the DG710 and bought an Onkyo. Avoid!
