I need recommendations on A/V reciever for 6.1 system for under $600

I am looking for a new reciever that can handle at least 6.1 system.

I have the following components:

720p Plasma HDTV Panasonic
Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
HD DVR
Toshiba HDDVD player (720p)

I would like the components (both analog/digital) to feed into the reciever. I would then like to send one single HDMI cable from reciever to the back of the plasma (so let reciever handle video and audio).

Thanks gusy for any help.

The Onkyo 605 does what you need and lists for $500. I recently set up a system for someone using this receiver and I was definitely impressed. You might also be able to get the 705 discounted for under $600.

The one minor drawback I found on the 605 was I sometimes thought the analog to hdmi conversion might be slightly suspect, as in the picture didn't always look optimal, but I think that is a minor quibble, as it probably won't be that long before you no longer have any analog video sources.

They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
