(More customer reviews)It's nice to be able to switch up to 4 HDMI components and have only one HDMI cable going to your TV carrying the audio and video signals. The auto calibration is pretty accurate and very simple to perform. I purchased a $275 sound pressure meter to check this. I have to say that my audio settings were set wrong for years by my ear with my old receiver and then an auto calibration option saves the day. I now hear the rear speakers and all other speakers at a comfortable listening level that is much more balanced instead of being drowned out by the center speaker or sub woofer. The auto cal sets speaker size, distance, and levels within 1 minute. The GUI interface which shows on-screen menus on your TV screen of all settings and the capablilities is really worth it. You can set your radio presets and many other things here. It's nice not laying in front of the receiver setting the configurations up like I used to. You get 2 remotes. The small one is nice for the wife that has just the basic buttons on it. The bigger one is nice but long. The only con that I've found is that there is HDMI 1 through 4 buttons available on the remote. You have to remember which HDMI input the satellite is on, which one the blu-ray is on and so forth. You can program the "SAT" and "BD" buttons on the remote so you don't have to remember which HDMI input controls which equipment. The hangup is that if you are using only HDMI cabling you will not receive the audio with the selection of the SAT and BD buttons because of an engineering flaw in the setup which was verified by Sony support line. So basically you need to use the HDMI 1-4 buttons to select the audio and video instead of using the SAT and BD buttons that are on the remote. Nice sound produced from this model compared to my old Sony 985 model. So much progress has been made with these receivers. Happy customer.
