Although this is my first post (yay!) I have been trying to read as many threads on the forums in the past few days about good advice on a receiver. I just bought a house with wholehouse sound and although the in-wall speakers may not be the greatest, I am planning on taking full advantage of them. These two receivers seem to be the best in my price range, right at $350 and I am not sure which one will suit my needs better.
I have a 46' Sharp aquos, PS3 that i use to play all my dvds, and my dishnetwork dvr that will be hooked up to the receiver. I know I need one with multizone capabilities, but other than that I am not really sure what I should be getting. I plan on having 5.1 surround for a while but I figured I'd get a 7.1 receiver just to be safe (I know the Pio does 7.1 or 5.1 multizoned),
So I guess my overall question, which is better? (Sorry that may have been longwinded)
It may seem like a no brainer to get the Yamaha for the video upconversion but I'm just unsure or to dumb to see it and need convincing.
Thanks for any help.
