    Ok, thank you. I think I just had a general feeling from reading on these boards that Onkyo was on a lower teir than Marantz, H/K, Denon, etc. I don't really know where I got the idea from.

    Best $500 receiver w/ HDMI switching ?

    Thanks a lot John, that Yamaha looks like a possibility even though its a little high on price for me. I also spend a few hours last night researching, and it looks like the best there is are 2 inputs for HDMI, with 1 out. That will be fine, as I can always just hook my cable box up through...

    TYVM frogpond. I will defenitly look at your suggestions. Can you give me some more info on the Denon AVR 2106? I am looking at it online at places, and it seems good, but why would I choose it over other receivers? Has it just received really good reviews?
