Is HDMI worth the upgrade?


I'm in the market for a used av processor. There is a
number of good used processors out there at very low
prices. Is the lack of HDMI in older products driving the prices down? Or is it something else, or a combination of things?

It depends on how critical video switching is to you. Video switching is not critical to me since it is only HD-cable or DVD as choices. Both run directly into the TV HDMI inputs which are easily switched between sources. It also means that I can turn the TV on cable and not have to power up the processor and amp for sound or video switching. HDMI picture output is superb.

I bought an excellent audio processor cheaply(Meridian 561) that lacks advanced video outputs that I did not really need to run multi-channel movie soundtracks.
