I did not purchase the one Sony STR-DH710 7.1-channel acceptor from amazon.com as i saved $13 online at wally world, even with paying sales tax and getting upgraded delivery to my home. Sorry, amazon.com. All that aside, the one is a bravo acceptor for the price. I wanted an hdmi acceptor to go along with the samsung bd-c6500 blu-ray player i only 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 numerical and 2 optical inputs (tv and other), but why pay $100 or more for those features? The organization was very informal as i have two other sony a/v receivers. However, i can see why some buyers will be frustrated with the organization. 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” that is the default. Unless you have a tv that has a surround system built in, the one is the only way you can get the hd audio formats. Otherwise, you will only get lpcm decoding.
