Model Numbers as per my profile:

• Pronto RU950
• Sony KDL-46EX723
• STR-DH820 Amp
• BDP-S350 BD
• D-Link DSM-520
• SA Virgin Media Box
• Compaq pc
• Canon XH-A1
• Avid Media Composer

The wiring is simply hdmi box to box (well tv > amp > SA Box/BD Player and D-link)

What I like is the CEC display on the TV screen of the amps volume level (or Audio system volume as in the pic below.)

The only other thing I've yet to try is an ir on off for the TV mains supply (aka pull the plug out of the wall)

What I am looking at on the screen is the OSD of the Television, I don't see what is going on in the amp as it's not in it's GUI mode.

Hopefully this sheds a bit more light on the subject, sorry I didn't reply earlier I thought that there would be a 'reply to this post mail!!!'

Thanks all for your input so far.

Cheers,

Marcus
