I have a Sony STR-DE935 which I bought years ago, and it's still running. The problem is, it doesn't do HDMI switching, so my receiver does the audio switching, and the TV does the video/HDMI switching. This is a bit annoying but it works.

Sometime over the next few months, I'd like to purchase a comparable unit, so I can connect all of my devices, existing speakers, and TV - and have the receiver do all the switching.

I have:

PS3 with HDMI and digital optical S/PDIF
WD TV Live Hub with HDMI and digital optical S/PDIF

My speakers (5.1) are from the Yamaha CS-200 kit, containing five NS-A200X satellite speakers and an SW-5 powered sub-woofer. I am running digital coax (RCA) from the receiver to the sub, and flat Monster Cable to each of the five satellites.

I'm happy with everything, except for the receiver/HDMI issue.

If I can find a receiver that pretty much allows me to use the existing DD/DTS 5.1 set-up with existing wiring, and cabling, between all devices (input and output), that would be awesome.

I'd like the quality and functionality to be similar or better as far as ergonomics...the kids are used to the physical buttons on the front with the LED array to tell them which one they pressed.

Thoughts?
