this be a great little system for the price . I have to return the first one because I have problem with the tv cut out while the sound continue . I replace the HDMI cable think it could be they , but it only happen when watch tv , not while play the Xbox etc. . after completely replace the system , I find it be actually the Motorola cable box & this system comflicting . the problem be the Motorola cable box drop signal every now and than , or the signal change . this cause the HDMI repeater on this unit to thing the system be turn off briefly and it try search the other hdmus connection for a signal . any hdmus repeater would probably have this same issue -lrb- unless it be a manual switch -rrb- the solution until Motorola can get they act together be to run a hdmus cable directly to the tv from the cable box . then run the optical out from the cable box to this unit . it be not a ideal solution but it fix the issue . you can find out more about this problem by search news group . I be not sure if Sony can fix this with a update or if it be a Motorola issue . other than the video issue , this be a great product for the price . do not let the above issue scare you off , because this unit have enough port to handle alot of different connection .
