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!
