I've been reading this forum for months in regards to this problem. Years for others, but I had to finally join to ask this one question.
I need, scratch that, want a new receiver. Currently using a Harman Kardon AVR-347 and for whatever reason I'm just not happy with it.
I want/need the following items (these are manditory)
2 HDMI inputs
Posts for speaker connections
5.1
1 switched outlet on the back
HDMI audio processing
I would like the following:
Inexpensive as possible without removing above features
Dot matrix display, not the segmented lettering on the display
3 HDMI inputs
The only other thing I would like is the receiver to be of a make that also offers a CD/DVD player. Meaning I want to match the brand even if it means going with an older unit to get a simple CD player.
Rest of equipment I will be connecting:
PS3 (hdmi)
XBOX 360 (hdmi)
Sharp AQUIOS 52" LCD (optical out to receiver)
CD/DVD player (optical or coax to receiver)
Speakers:
Sony floor fronts, center and bookshelf rears with a Paradigm subwoofer (powered).
I've looked at Denon, ONKYO, Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, Marantz and other Harman Kardons and I'm so fried I can't think straight anymore.
Please Help!
