Looking for a new receiver - Blu-ray Forum

SideEffect34 · 12-01-2014, 04:11 PM

I am looking for a new receiver to replace my Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver after its HDMI board issues. My Onkyo displays No Signal on the TV and now takes up to 30 min or more to display a signal. Also won’t display 1080p unless I hook up directly to the TV so been forced to use 1080i on PS3, but I have PS4 straight to the TV with an optical cable for audio. I have a 5.1 setup with all Polk speakers which are listed below. I use the receiver for my Comcast DVR, PS4, and PS3 for movies and games. I also sometimes connect my laptop. I'm satisfied with my speakers. My entertainment room is 18 feet by 20 feet. My budget would probably be up to $500 or $600. I don’t think I want to get another Onkyo. My TV isn’t 3D or 4K capable, but it seems many receivers support them in case I upgrade my TV down the road. Should I not worry about getting a Dolby Atmos capable receiver if I don’t have ceiling speakers? Receiver recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

My current set up is:
TV: Samsung UN65FH6001FXZA 65" 1080p LED
Front Towers: Polk TSI300 (x 2)
Center: Polk CSI A4
Subwoofer: Polk PSW 125
2 Rears: Polk OWM3 (x 2)
