Have just bought a Samsung 37" Full HD TV (LA37A550D) teamed up with an older Panasonic HD DVD Player and SKY Digital. I want to feed all of these through a new reciever and then out a single HDMI cable to the TV. In 12mths or so buy a PS3 for Blu Ray etc. So wanting a HT Receiver with HDMI 1.3 ouput and HD Audio Processing. What should I get for a budget of less than a grand?
I do prefer the Onkyo 606 though its a little out of my price range and have heard some bad reviews. I am leaning towards the Sony STRDG820 or the STRDA2400ES as I can get these at trade price. Other options are the Onkyo 576, Yamaha 463, or Pioneer 918.
Thoughts?
