Hi
I am planning to get either the Onkyo 5300 or Denon DHT-590BA (with Boston Acoustics speakers). Price for both are almost the same in the range of $450-550
Onkyo 5300 has the 7.1 and 1.4a HDMI but my living room will only allow 5.1 setup. Moreovr 1.4a allows only 1 HDMI cable from Receiver to LCD for both audio and video thus eliminating the need for separate audio cable. 1.4a supports 3D but thats useless to me.
Denon DHT-590BA has the 5.1 which suits me but it has the Boston Acoustics speakers MCS 90. It has 1.3a HDMI with repeater function along with analog video conversion to HDMI which also means only one HDMI cable to LCD for both audio and video.
What do you experts advise. Will there be any problem with repect to PAL and NTSC because I may use it in UK / Asia which has PAL. Both the receivers say they support both PAL and NTSC the manual says "The video conversion function supports the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43, PAL N, PAL M and also PAL 60 formats"
