Hi All,
I just took the plunge and purchased a High Def television and new DVD player and need a good receiver to complete my home theater. I was hoping some of you experts could recommend something based on the following:
- My TV has only one HDMI input, and I understand that is the input I’ll need to use for “true” high definition. Therefore, it seems to me (and I am a complete novice) that I need a receiver that has HDMI, Component and Composite inputs and an HDMI output to go into the television.
- My primary means of television is DirecTV, and the receiver uses HDMI output.
- I also have a DVD Player using an HDMI output, and an X-Box that uses Component. So I guess what I am looking for is a receiver with at least 2 HDMI Inputs, at least 1 Component Input, and outputting via HDMI.
- I would like the option to add future component or HDMI devices . . . I would like this receiver/switcher to last a while, so some room for expansion would be nice.
- 5.1 surround audio.
- Under $1,000
So, is there anything you experts would recommend? Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!!
