Many people report problems with this cable box and the B&K equipment. B&K will tell you the cable box is simply not following digital audio standards and they may be correct. That is why your other components dont have this problem. Not much you can do about it unless you can get a different...

You should be able to get into a B&K REF 50 and B&K AV125.7 for under $3k now that the REF 50 price dropped to $1500. The 125.7 street price is about $1400. http://www.bkcomp.com/ref50.asp http://www.bkcomp.com/av125.asp This would fit all your requirements.
You might be able to use a ductstat. http://www.suncourt.com/Ductstat.html Home depot carries them. It works great for venting hushboxes or equipment racks. Not sure about a whole room situation though.

These are the available resolutions.
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1365x1024, 720x480, 720x720, 720x960
