decent deal

Sony STR-DH520 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver
Sony STR-DH520 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver

Pros: Sounds great for the money When it works.

Cons: The VIDEO input HDMI stopped playing sound just 2 days ago ( less than 1 week out of the 30day coverage) It will pass the video signal to the TV along with sound to the TV but will not produce sound. I had to move my HDMI onto another port to use my satalite tv. Also, the remote is very moody, Sometimes it will work and others it will not. The power button works to turn it on and off about 50% of the time. The way around this is to hit the video or cat/sat opions on the remote and that will turn it on directly to whatever input you want it to be on. Sometimes once again that doesn't work. The remote has also been tried with new batteries and still continues to do this. I'm more bothered by the HDMI input not working correctly than anything. I can always walk up and change the input manually on the reciever but its a PITA to swap HDMI cables and risk the chance of wearing out the port and breaking out solder joints on the PCB.
