While set up was straightforward I thought I was getting a product with the auto speaker calibration. Only after reading the manual did I learn that option wasn't available to US products. That being said, manual calibration and speaker setup was pretty easy and the resulting sound is great! Two things should be included in the product manual for troubleshooting. After hookup to my KDL55HX-800 I had no sound. Followed all actions listed in TV and receiver manual with no success. My cable company then said check the DVR menu setting to ensure it is on HDMI. Once I updated that setting to HDMI I had great sound! Second, I had trouble at "Amp,TV, DVR turn-on", using my Cable DVR remote, with speakers going to TV rather than staying on Audio System as the setting called for plus the receiver audio setting moving from amp setting to TV & amp setting. Sony e-support said not compatible remotes so would have to use two remotes. Did not have that problem with my prior STR-DE485 so figured it should work. After experimenting I found by changing my Cable DVR remote turn-on sequence to TV, AMP, CABLE from AMP,TV,CABLE my speakers stayed on external audio system and I still controlled sound levels as well as video with one remote. Makes the wife much happier also having to only use the one remote! All in all very happy with purchase and would recommend the product. I wrote Sony about my troubleshooting suggestions re sound problems. Am doubtful anything will change in the manual(s). Enjoy!

Better than entry level receiver
By jdgrate
from Chesapeake, VA
Comments about Sony 700-Watt 7.1 3D Home Theater A/V Receiver:
I got this for a real bargain, open box special minus the remote $149.00. I purchased the remote from Sony for only $25.00 for a total cost of $174.00. My old Harman Kardon receiver lost its left front speaker channel so I needed a replacement with HDMI and not too much money. Sony fit the bill perfectly. It sounds great with my satellite speakers, and I have all my video connections via HDMI. I have it hooked up to my old Sony 51KPWS520 rear projection t.v. and the remote works both the receiver and t.v. When I select a different video input, it is a little slow in the response. The receiver is perfectly sized as it matches the width of all the other video components, (cable box, Blu-ray, HD-DVD player). Definitely this receiver is above entry level, and for the right price, you can't go wrong with it.

Needed new receiver with HDMI for new HDTV and surround sound system. The multiple HDMI inputs are great and the receiver works and sounds great. The model above this one has easier to use setup "on screen" that would be a nice feature, however I wanted to hit a lower price point, so this workf for me.
