I need a new receiver. It will mostly be used for Home Theatre use, not very much music use. I do however need a few very important features:
My HDTV has ONE set of component video inputs (I bought it right as HDTV was coming out...HAD to have an HDTV), at the moment I have to crawl behind the damn TV to change them out as I have three things that use component video: My Yamaha DVD player, My PS2, and my Motorola Cable/HDTV/DVR box. So I need component video switching, BAD. Other thing is all three of the above items need inputs for optic cables, so three optical inputs is a must also. With this upgrade I am going to go to Paradigm Speakers. Pretty much I'm rebuilding a big chunk of my home theatre experience. As with most people, I started several years ago with "home theatre in a box" and now I'm ready for the real deal, not the best buy special. I am willing to spend $1000 on a receiver if the deal is good, but would rather stay close to $500-800. Anyone know of any receivers that "fit" me? Can I even get all these features on my budget?
Thank You,
Casey
