Great Value
Pros: Nice sound quality for the money
Cons: HDMI not used for audio
Sony's new entry level A/V receiver is a clear step up from the old model. Sound quality is very good. The HDMI switching and Bravia-sync are a bounus espcially since the rest of the components I have are compatible. The menu is not intuitative but can be navigated reasonably well with a little practice. While Sony clearly indicates the HDMI connections are not for audio, it is still annoying to shell out for digital optical cables. I assume the reliability is consistent with other Sony products.
- Requires Digital Media Port accessory compatible with the device (sold separately).
- Sirius requires optional antenna and subscription service.
- iPod® support is limited based upon which optional Digital Media Port is being used. The TDM-IP10 will support the following players: iPod® touch, iPod® classic, iPod® Nano 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation, iPod® 4th& 5th generation &iPod® Mini. The TDM-IP 50 adds iPhone™ support as well.
