Hello everyone,
I'm Kyle (djyamix) and new to the forum. So, I finally took the plunge to HDTV when my 12 year old 35" Mitsubishi went away like the dinosaurs. I haven't been following A/V trends closely until recently, as I'm re-engergized with my recent HDTV purchase.
My current A/V receiver (Denon) is as old as my former TV. It doesn't support HDMI or any other recent acronyms now being favored in the modern A/V receivers.
My question to the gurus that frequent this forum is what would you recommend for the following scenario?
Home Theater scope:
12' x 23' family room
Blu-ray player
PS2
Wii
Netflix via Roku
(considering connecting old VHS/DVD combo for kids use)
music stream for iPod
Needs WAF (Wife Approved Factor--i.e. ease of use)
I have a budget of ~$1200 (+/-). Value & longevity of receiver is important as I do not upgrade frequently.
Since I have several lower resolution devices (PS2, Wii, VHS/DVD combo), is it worthwhile to look for a receive that can upconvert w/ video processing?
Any recommendations to look at and compare would be appreciated before I head out to the store to "kick the tires".
TIA!
