Need Help With New Reciever - Blu-ray Forum

burdenbrother · 04-21-2007, 02:35 AM

Hey guys, I am new here to blu-ray.com but I am already an avid supporter of bluray. I own a 1080i capable tv with some paradigm cinema series speakers. I am looking to upgrade my reciever to show off this system with my PS3 and bluray discs. I want to spend less than 400 and I want to make sure that I will be able to have uncompressed 5.1 pcm surround sound. Any ideas on how and where I can get this? Best Buy has a sony reciever for 299.99 model number STR-DG710 that has 2 hdmi inputs but I don't know if it will be able to output 5.1 pcm. I also don't care right now about Dolby TruHD or DTSHD. Thanks alot guys!

Any receiver that has HDMI inputs can accept a 5.1 LPCM signal.

There's a new Onkyo speakers coming next month. You might wanna hold off on this Sony. Price is about US$499.
