Onkyo TX-NR901 or something else?


Looking to upgrade my old Yamaha RX-V995 receiver with something a bit more modern. I've been out of the loop for a while, so I'm hoping to get some advice.

Here are some things I'm looking to get out of it:

1 - I'm intrigued by these new Windows Media HD DVDs Microsoft is behind, I use a HTPC for my DVD playback. So, decoding WMA is desired.

2 - Pro Logic II for older material.

3 - Component video switching. The more the better.

4 - More digital audio inputs.

5 - Input labeling (so I can label the inputs exactly what my components are - just a pet peeve).

Looking around, the Onkyo caught my eye. I also used to own an Onkyo years back, and was very happy with it.

Anyone current owners know if the Onkyo fits all the above needs? I wasn't sure about the input labeling, and I wish it had more than 2 component inputs, but I guess that's livable.

Any other receivers anyone could recommend?

Thanks!
Mike
