"Piece of junk"
Pros: Cheap HDMI switching
Cons: Does not reliably detect Dolby Digital, auto setup not very accurate
Summary: I was once a very loyal Sony customer. Recent experiences with the company have changed that. After exchanging a Yamaha receiver for this one, I really wanted to like this Sony because of the affordable HDMI switching. However, the unit did not reliably detect a Dolby Digital bitstream from my Sony HD DVR. To hear any audio required either a power on/off sequence or a change to a different input and then back to the DVR. After this happened 4 times, I returned the unit to Best Buy. Sony's new automatic speaker calibration system didn't work that great either. It was much less accurate than similar systems I have used from Yamaha and Pioneer.

I noticed oyu posted your writeup on April 20th. This SONY receiver was released on May 16th. Did you get a early, pre release version of the receiver. Did you contact SONY regarding your issues and did they help resolve any of the issues?
How is the HDMI up conversion
