    Another HT receiver thread

    The On Screen Display function seems to have died on my HK DPR-2005, which sucks b/c some of the functions are only accessible through the OSD. I'm pretty sure that buying something new will be more cost effective than trying to get this repaired (not to mention receivers have changed quite a bit over the past few years), so I'm coming to the experts for advice. Budget is $300 to $500.

    Must haves: pre-outs, bass management, analog multi-channel inputs, good warranty

    Nice to have: at least 3 HDMI inputs, HDMI upconversion to 1080p, self calibration system

    Other Gear: Mitsubishi 720p DLP TV, Squeezebox, Sony DVD/CD/SACD carousel, Dish HD DVR, Xbox 360, Linn LK140 amp

    Speakers: Vandersteen 3sig (driven by the Linn), Insignia bookshelfs for rears, DIY 15" Dayton Audio Sub

    Power's not too big a requirement, since it will only be driving the rears (not using a serperate center), but it'd be nice to have some in reserve in case I do ever decide to get one.

    I'm not a big believer in amplification having much of an impact on sound, so features and reliability are my main concerns. I think that a new 1080p flat panel is a good possiblity in the near future, so a unit that has excellent upconversion capability would be nice.

    Is Yamaha still considered to be at the top reliability wise?

    Thanks in advance for any replies.
