I understand that over time the audio industry has gotten inflated tremendously however I am a student who is looking for some guidance. My current setup is a 50 " plasma ( LG ) which I have hooked up through a HTIB, LG as well. My problem is that with eletronics continually evolving I am finding myself needing a receiver in order to run adequately all of my toys,primarily my Xbox 360. That being stated I am really looking for a receiver with a couple component in's and couple optical in's as well as 2 HDMI in's that can handle both video and audio since I have read a few threads that some receivers only have the capacity to pass through video only or vice versa. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
