(More customer reviews)unsure why the tech nerd had problems with the manual.
i followed it to setup all my speakers (6.1 config).
i used it to reassign a digital input.
i started programming my remote within 1 minute... just like the manual said. i tought it the codes for my Scientific Atlanta HD recorder and the DISH box, and it already knew about my Philips DVD player. Now its the only remote i have to use.
i'm into HDTV, so the component switching was neccessary for me to accomodate several HD inputs - works fine, PLUS it upconverts my older DISH Network receiver's s-video output and goes out the component plug just fine - just 1 year ago receivers wouldn't do this and this was a shock for me - svideo has never looked so good on my tv.
there is one problem though with the optical input jacks - sony started using a type with a little flap door - and if you use a cheaper optical cable, it can hang when inserted, so when you yank it out, it tears the door off and makes that optical input unusable. I bet Sony will learn and soon abandon this type of connector, but for now, be careful if you plug in a cable and it won't come back out easily... if this happens, you may just want to leave it in there.
