It's time to replace my elderly Yamaha AV amp with one that includes an integral HDMI switch. I only want 5.1 support and 3 HDMI inputs, but FM and internet radios would be useful. Max price is around £300 (cheaper is better!)
What features should I be looking for? Are there any recommendations for specific models? (The Denon AVR X1000 looks interesting)
Why integral HDMI?
This remote controlled switch is only £10, works well, size of a pack of cigs, solidly built and fuss free!
(Of course you might have to do something with the audio, but your existing setup should at least do that)
I have a Marantz NR1602, but it may well have been superseded**, it's
7.1 but I only use it as 5.1, it's possible to use the spare 2 channels as a separate stereo pair for another room.It has four HDMI in and one HDMI out, DLNA, AM/FM and internet "tuners" and a few other phono/spdif ports, I believe iThings will also talk direct to it, but I don't have any use for that.
Also it's NOT huge.
