I can think of some ONkyo SP1000 DVD owners who will love the audio sync feature too as long as you can delay the audio, and not just the video?

As for DVI-D input, and not HDMI, the folks that will impact(negatively) most will be those who have a DVD player with HDMI, and not DVI-D, and who have an HDMI input on their HDTV. Those folks may wish to go directly to their HDTV with that HDMI video rather than lose some BTB ability while clipping bits from 10 to 8 due to having their video signal formatted as RGBHV.
