Reviews of the Sony STR-DG1000

CNET Review
The Good: Sony's 7.1 channel A/V receiver converts analog video to HDMI; provides audio and video switching for two HDMI sources including 1080p signals; XM-ready with XM HD Surround; auto speaker calibration.
The Bad: Quirky menu navigation; less than totally accurate auto speaker calibration; mediocre video upconversion performance.
The Bottom Line: Sony's great-sounding STR-DG1000 can handle HDMI switching and upconversion, and only misses the mark with its quirky setup and menu navigation.
