I seen people praise the Sony STR-DN1080 but I have not see much people talk about its weird quirks and sayings. Mind you this info comes from the web manual and personal experience.

  • The "BD/DVD" and "SA-CD/CD" HDMI inputs have better sound quality over the other HDMI inputs Source
  • HDMI to DVI-D cables loses audio and picture quality Source
  • "VIDEO 1" HDMI input supports bandwidth up to 9 Gbps Source
  • Chromecast only supports "Multi-channel Stereo" & "2-channel" sound fields Source
  • DSEE HX is a sound field and not a toggleable switch Source
  • DA & DTS X can only be decoded using the "AFD" sound field Source
  • When there is "Up firing" speakers in the setup, DTS X does not use them.
  • EQ is just -/+ 10db Bass-Treble. Source
  • "The receiver may play signals at a lower sampling frequency than the actual sampling frequency of the input signals, depending on the audio format"
