Sound too good to believe (but it's true)
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the answer to my prayers for a new AV box. The old one had so many issues, the main one being using those fragile digital optical cables (too expensive, too hard to get inserted properly, too easy to break). This box has lots of inputs & outputs using the much superior HDMI technology. I can "tune" my sound to hear the full Surround Sound for movies but also a better "human voice" sound for my TV shows. The improvement in voice recognition has allowed me to watch TV without my hearing aids. Winner!
