However those specs seem pretty up-front. Try looking at a similarly priced HK as well; it can at least give you other options and some comparisons. |

Also in my experience Sony receivers are not easy to set up and operate. The Yamaha supports HDMI (2 in 1 out) and the Sony does not. The Yamaha has 3 component inputs compared to the Sony's two. Assuming comparable prices, the choice is obvious. I do find it interesting that the Yamaha's HDMI 1.1 output will upconvert any incoming analog video (composite, S-video, component), but not any incoming analog audio signal. |
