I want to use my Rebate toward new receiver, which one should I get? - Blu-ray Forum

xwingsct · 04-20-2008, 03:39 AM

Now that my PS3 is capable of doing 7.1 audio. I want to upgrade my receiver.
I kind of like Pioneer, Sony and Yamaha. I want it to be able to decode all available audio that BD is currently offering.

Thanks.

how much are you willing to spend?

un4gvn94538 · 04-20-2008, 03:41 AM

how many ins and outs do you want. besides decoding, what kind of features are you looking for?

Doc_Stew · 04-20-2008, 03:45 AM

Onkyo 605. $389 at Amazon, and the best receiver money can buy at that price point. Unless you upgrade to the 805 (for $700), there's no reason to get any other model IMO.

xwingsct · 04-20-2008, 03:46 AM

Up to $600 I supposed. I need at least 2 HDMI inputs with 3 and up toslink input.
I just want to take advantage of 7.1 audio. I read that some of them are just pass through not decoding it.

I like the style, with green display. Not a bad price either.

Yamaha RX-V663

* Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs

Another question. With HDMI input. Does it control everything. Let's say if I pop the BD movie in my PS3. Do all my components turn on automatically? like my receiver and TV. I use to have stand alone Sony BD with Bravia feature. I kind of like that.
