I have the same combination and have two problems.

1. The 'tinny audio' problem. Well known problem and a work-around exists.

2. By default the left audio channel is muted. Some other people have reported 
this problem, but it does not seem as wide spread as 1.

Do you have neither of those problems, or did you work around them?
Would be interesting to know if there are PVR-150s that do not exhibit at 
least the first bug.
