I can get it new for under $300. I'm not into HDMI switching or upconverting through AV receivers (should I be?). I'm getting some new speakers for Christmas (The Klipsch Reference RB51 complete set which is RC-52 Center, 2 RB-51s, 2 RS-42s, and I already have the Subwoofer.
My old Sony 5.1 is 100 watts per channel, but it's decoding is starting to fail at times. So I want a new receiver that's 100 watts or more per channel, and iPod compatible, with dual zone capabilities. That's all I need. As long as it has 3 or 4 optical digital audio inputs, that's all I need.
I have the new 65" Mitz DLP, DirecTV HD-DVR, and a Samsung 1080p upconvert DVD player. No video game consoles.
Please help! I don't know all there is to know about this stuff.
Is the Yamaha receiver respectable?
