Sony STR-DA3300ES

My 3300es refused to interact with my PS3 thru HDMI. I got video but no audio, despite hours of troubleshooting and a call to customer support. A similar issue has been noted with the big brother, the 5300ES, where audio issues thru HDMI were found when connecting an hdmi to dvi cable to the monitor, as I did. Screw it, the GUI isn't that great anyway, so I'll be swapping mine for a Denon. The 3300 looks great on paper, but how could it not even interact properly with the PS3? The one product that Sony's future depends on? Come on.

I have a 5 year old Yamaha that sounds better and doesnt degrade my picture quality on just a simple component pass through....which in my opinion makes this receiever sub par considering the reason you buy a receiver is for the video switching and the sound----should have stuck with Yamaha or Denon....
