help me choose an avr, i'm clueless

I am not tech savy but I want a new AVR. I'd like one that is easy to use and I could figure out how to set it up in a short amount of time.

I want it to be cheap as possible but still adequate for my needs.

It will be used for my plasma tv, dish network, blu ray player, and 5.1 audio - speakers are definitive technology procinema.

what do you guys suggest???? I don't want to spend more than 200-$300 MAX. With the 30% off at ebay right now its probably a good time for me to buy. Thanks!!!

Thanks!

can the sony dg720 do 6.1 and if so how would I set it up to do that? also can I set the crossovers to 80, 100, or 120?

of those you listed i'm leaning towards the dg720 I think. I read about this - "if the HD-DVD/Blu-ray player decodes Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA, the receiver can take in the resulting multichannel (5.1/7.1) PCM signals and play them."

I have a Sony BDP-S300 bluray player, does it decode the audio and send LPCM?

I'm spending all this money on plasma tv, bluray player, speakers.....I want to make sure blurays sound the way they are supposed to! I don't really know what I'm talking about but I want this receiver to last me for years and play blurays the best way, I don't want to sacrifice any sound. thanks!!!

with my needs and a Sony BDP-S300 bluray player which is the best receiver for me, also I've changed my mind to wanting a receiver capable of 6.1 audio because I may need an extra speaker to put right beside my dad's right ear because he can't hear well

- a Sony DG720 or a Denon 1908 or neither...I'm itching to make a purchase, thanks!!!

oh ok. so it only needs to be 5.1....

you guys have any suggestions on what is the best avr for me at the cheapest price that will play my blurays the best? I want to be able to play Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA if possible...

i'm looking at the denon 788, yamaha rx-v663, onkyo 605 or 606....
