Onkyo TX-SR505
$299.00
The Pros:Good price ($299). Supports HDMI (x2) and Component (x3) switching.
The Cons:No video upconversion to either component or HDMI. HDMI pass-through does not support audio, therefore requires separate audio hookup. The Audyssey 2EQ Room Acoustics Correction does not work if one is operating at 5.1 vs.7.1.

#onkyo_tx_sr505 Check out the Onkyo refurbished deals at http://shoponkyo.com/ -- shipped with a 1 year warranty for $170! The 505 is being phased out, so now (mid-2008) is a great time to get one.

#onkyo_tx_sr505 This is a great A/V receiver for the price. I picked it up off ebay for around $250. The Audyssey 2EQ offers one of the best auto-calibration processes in this price range and WORKS PERFECTLY with a 5.1 setup.
