First dont laugh.

I have read on here how this receiver is not up to the standard of other recievers in the price range. So I went after the Yamaha 5550 for $199 at Frys but sold out fast. Then I went after a refurbished Onkyo SR600 for $320 shipped but it went out of stock before I took the plunge.

All this was for nothing because the GF wants a silver one to match the Wega we have. So I have decided to get the Sony 885 that no one likes. It will look good, and ease the remote control problem even if it doesn't sound great.... (sad)

I want the ability to use the component switching for my DVD player and XBox, but I cant find the bandwidth on this unit. crutchfield.com says:

Component Video Bandwidth N/A

At sonystyle.com I couldn't find anything, or anywhere on google, or in this forum for that matter.

So does anyone know the bandwidth, I know I want over 30MHz in case we go HDTV with it.

Cheers.

Also please talk me out of getting this receiver if needed
