Hey - i'm new to the forum and looking for some advice from people far more educated on this type of thing than i am.
I currently have a Samsung HLN617W1 TV, a Samsung SIR-TS360 DirecTV HD receiver, a Samsung DVD-HD841 DVD player, and a below average Kenwood A/V receiver. My TV has (1) DVI input and (0) HDMI inputs. Both my DVD player and my DirecTV receiver have (1) DVI output.
I'm looking to upgrade my receiver and i'd like some input from the group. My goal is to get a mid-range receiver with DVI switching capabilities.
I've done some preliminary research and it appears that the receiver that would best fit my needs and my budget is the Marantz SR8500.
Questions for the group:
1. Are there any receives that you would recommend that is similar to the Marantz SR8500?
2. Am i better off going w/ something less expensive and adding a seperate DVI Switcher?
3. Another receiver i found is by Outlaw - any experience with thier products?
Any and all help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
