Sony STR-DH710 7.1-channel A/V Receiver with 6 HD Inputs (3 HDMI, 3 Component) (Black) CustomerReview

I did not purchase this A/V receiver from Amazon.com as I saved online at Wally World, even with paying sales tax and getting upgraded delivery to my home. Sorry, Amazon.com. All that aside, this is a great receiver for the price. I wanted an HDMI receiver to go along with the Samsung BD-C6500 Blu-ray player I just bought here so I could decode the HD audio tracks on Avatar and other Blu-ray discs I have. There is no Sirius XM, the display is fluorescent, the speaker connections are mostly the spring type, and there is only 1 RCA digital and 2 optical inputs (TV and other), but why pay 0+ or more for those features? The setup was very easy as I have two other Sony A/V receivers. However, I can see why some buyers will be frustrated with the setup. What took me about 20 minutes will take about an hour or so for the neophyte to Sony A/V receivers. There is one tip I would like to pass along: To be able to decode the HD audio formats from your Blu-ray discs be sure to set the output in the HDMI section of the amp menu to “Amp” and not to “Amp + TV” which is the default. Unless you have a TV that has a surround system built in, this is the only way you can get the HD audio formats. Otherwise, you will only get LPCM decoding.
