I have an Onkyo TX-DS939 receiver and run the video from the DVD (HDMI) direct to the display. Still competes and betters alot of the newer stuff for sale now. Has a really good pre-amp section in it for a home theatre receiver and lots of power. The new onykyo,s are good and the denon,s as well as pioneer,s new or old. They all do pretty good for home theatre depending on model (cost) and yamaha,s were nice as well.Personally I would buy a good used receiver from these manufacturers before I would buy new. Keep the lions share of the money for 2 channel only.IMHO. Cheers
