Sony STR-DN1080 review

On the rear panel there are as many as 6 HDMI inputs for connecting devices and 2 HDMI outputs for outputting images to a TV, monitor or projector. Although every HDMI input is signed, according to the instructions it doesn’t matter which device will be connected to which connector, this is just a recommendation. But, there is one caveat. The SA-CD / CD and BD-DVD inputs provide higher sound quality. For this reason, consider this moment when connecting and select the priority devices for you.
