it may also interest you to look at audio/video receivers that have at least 4 hdmi inputs
makes connecting the system less of a spaghetti mess.
also, there are audio/video recievers that upconvert the picture if your hdtv does not.
i have a new model sharp aquos that does not upconvert, but is a true hdtv with 1080p, 120hz, 4ms response time....
go figure
