The sound connection to my tv seems to have shorted, though the dvd connection still works. I have the older 1080i panasonic tv's with 1.1. HDMI. Two questions. Can HDMI 1.1. connect to an HDMI 1.3 in a reciever. And what is the best reciever for under $1,000. Thanks.

Yes the 1.3 is backwards compatible. So no problem there. The best receiver is the one that has the features you want and sounds best to you. Go audition, there are lots of great receivers under $1000
