This receiver works great with the PS3 or any HD Player that has a decoding capabilities. What more do you want for sub-300 receiver? PCM sounds awesome.
Works Great!:
My Sony Strdg720 7.1 works like a dream. I switch over to an all Sony format as to be able to get all down to one remote. Using this reciever allows me to do that.

What else do you need in a reciever to spend so much more? Here you have the Sony name and a great price.
