NewEgg.com has the Onkyo TX-SR506 Black 7.1 Channel Receiver for $150 with free shipping. Features 6 audio inputs, digital audio in, S-Video Input, Front-Panel A/V, Component Input, and 3x HDMI.
If you can't use the HDMI for audio from a blueray player then what good is this unit having HDMI inputs? Might as well run the HDMI straight down to the TV from the player. What good does it do to buy this and hook up 7.1 sound if you can't use it. I don't get it.
I have been a loyal Onkyo user for years because the equipment is usually well designed and provide excellent audio quality for the price.
Spot on, #1.
Stripes on, too.
In for one. Been looking at this for around $200, but I'm glad I waited.
This is an awesome receiver but I am waiting for the 706 to drop in price, which will be a while.
Very, very tempting. But I think I'll just wait for a BD home theater in a box combo.
