I bought a Marantz, SR 8001. It showed up yesterday and after about six hours of re-routing cables, running the Audisy EQ and general 'figuring things out', ran the AVR through some tests. Too soon to comment a great deal on it, but everything works. This is something I couldn't ever get the HK 745 to do. I've got everything running through HDMI and all is well so far. I've got Lossless PCM multi channel from my X1, PS3 and I can even play SACD with the Oppo 970 and PS3.
I've got a MX 850 RF/IR remote and I want to integrate the PS3 into my system with this remote. It looks as if I have to buy a PS2 remote with external IR and a USB to PS2 adapter to do this. I might just stick with the PS3 blue tooth remote and have two remotes. Too bad Sony didn't think about this, but I reckon its first duty is being a gaming machine.
