home theater suggestion? (hdmi switching receiver)

[Eric P]

Hey, i have 6 devices which do HDMI, more than my TV can support, so I need a way to route them all to my speakers, but haven't bought a receiver since about 2005 which means that it's been a while since I've had to think about this

my apartment really only supports a stereo setup, so I don't need 7.1 or what have you

Any suggestions?

Video only? Video + audio?

[Eric P]

vid + audio would be the most convenient

I've been looking at receivers as well, for my game setup... Doing a bit of research, Yamaha seems to make good receivers with a lot of inputs that won't break the bank... there's this Denon receiver with a million inputs but it's like $4000, which is like WHAAA?

You can also just buy a HDMI switchbox, they can be bought at Amazon for like under $20:

my concern with those is that they may not do the DRM crap properly and thus may not show picture or play audio properly, otherwise i'd be all about those

I am happy with my Pioneer receivers.

I used to route all my devices via HDMI but now I use two optical cables; one from the tv to the Astro gaming mixamp and the other from said mixamp to the Pioneer reveiver. This way I can use both my receiver for all devices and consoles and also use my Astro gaming headset.

another vote for pioneer. Been using them for years, no complaints.

I've got an Onkyo TX-SR609B which is pretty damn awesome.  Might be overkill thought if you really only want stereo.  I'm sure there are better options for that.  But it's fairly inexpensive
