"Sony's new entry level A/V receiver is a clear step up from the old model. Sound quality is very good. The HDMI switching and Bravia-sync are a bounus espcially since the rest of the components I have are compatible.

Pros
Cons
Best Uses
"I recommend using a opticial audio cable with your
cable box to your receiver for the best quality sound, and HDMI cable from the same to your HDTV for picture.
