I really dont know why Sony designed the remote that way. This receiver doesnt allow reassigning of the inputs like other brands like onkyo. They expect you to use a Bluray player with optical or coaxial cables for sound? Doesn't make any sense!
So, are you happy with this receiver? I used to...
Your receiver works fine. I also have the DN1000 and what you need to do is just press HDMI1 or HDMI2 etc, instead of BD or SAT on your Remote. that will get you both the picture and the sound. Just press the HDMI button that your component is connected to. I to was confused, but i figured out...
