I was running my Denon AVR-3803 in my media room. It's analog only, no HDMI but is a powerhouse of a HT receiver from 2003.
The problem is that the receiver relies on all setup and functionality to be through an onscreen menu. While it has a front panel display, it's only used for the most basic of information.
Just to setup for DD and DTS was a pain. I had to use the composite video output from the receiver to a composite input on my TV. Yes, it's an old LG 3D 1080p with local dimming from around 2011.
However now a days, most TVs only have HDMI and no analog video inputs, so it you need on-screen menus for setup, you'll need a receiver with HDMI.
I replaced my 2011 Denon AVR-2312ci in my main living room system with a more up to date 4K/8K Onkyo TX-NR6050 receiver so I wouldn't have issues with the on-screen display for setup and info. This allowed me now to put the Denon AVR-2312ci into my media room and replace the analog only AVR-3803. So now I have HDMI onscreen displays for setup on my older LG TV.
Yes, there are work arounds connecting everything to the TV and feeding the optical out of the TV to the receiver but that means no onscreen menus for the receiver which is a major pain in the butt.
I'd honestly get something more up to date that uses HDMI.
