Okay... after lots and lots of researching receivers, I've narrowed the field down to 2 models. My budget is $500 firm with no room to go over.
Onkyo TX-SR605 vs. the Denon AVR-1708
Here's a link to a side by side comparison courtesy of Crutchfield.com

The Onkyo is $399. The Denon is $499.
If it matters what the rest of my HT setup is:
65" Mits DLP 1080p TV
Klipsch Reference 5.1 speakers
Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player
DirecTV HD-DVR
I'm planning to run HDMI from the DVD player and the DirecTV box to the new receiver and run 1 HDMI cable to the TV from the receiver. I may be getting a Blu-Ray player this year as well... so I'd like to have a receiver with at least 3 HDMI inputs, but so far I haven't found such a receiver under $500.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
