<font color='#000000'>Can anyone provide me some information as to which amps have pretty decent component video switching? &nbsp;I've heard that most do not work and induce noise on the video signal. &nbsp;I've been looking at Onkyo, Yamaha, HK, and Denon amps (in the price range of $1000-$1500). &nbsp;Additionally, I want a 7.1 amp (if this helps).

Thanks!</font>

<font color='#000000'>I have the impression the more expensive the receiver is the better or more decent its video switching circuitry is. &nbsp;I know many hi-end AV preamps actually have defeatble video switches to preclude extraneous nooise entering the audio circuits. &nbsp;Many mid-priced receivers do a god job of isolating the video from the audio sections. &nbsp;I know my old Onkyo does. &nbsp;Try a Rotel, Nad, Harman kardon and Pioneer Elite. &nbsp;(Perhaps you may want to look into separate A/V &nbsp;5.1 preamps like Rotel or Krell which could be within your budget. &nbsp;But you will have to get a separate multi-channel power amp for another $$$.)</font>
