Yamaha RX-V575

[merlin1952]

I am interested in everyone’s thoughts on this (Refurbished) Yamaha RX-V575 Receiver. I currently have a Pioneer VSX- 1020 that I bought new about three years ago. Recently one channel on the B-Speakers, which I use a lot in the Spring and Fall to power some inside/outside speakers, went out so I’m shopping for a new Receiver. Before I bought the Pioneer I had a Yamaha RX-V750 and (though I thought one time that it had been struck by lightning it’s still going strong out in my shop) I would not have bought the Pioneer except I wanted HDMI connections. Anyway, I’m considering replacing the 1020 with the 575 and would appreciate everyone’s thoughts and opinions on this swap and the idea of buying refurbished.

Don't you still need the HDMI? If so, pick up something else. I'm a lilttle confused.

Perhaps “I” am missing something here as well. Is the spec sheet with that Yamaha RX-V575 incorrect in showing 5/1 for HDMI connections? But “yes” I do still want HDMI connections and understood that the 575 did in fact have HDMI connections. I would be open to any and all suggestions on a new receiver but would like to stay in the $350.00-ish price range. I will say though that in hindsight I believe I like the old 750 Yamaha better than I do the Pioneer 1020 except of course for the HDMI connections thing. Thanks,
