Make sure you get one that integrates well with the TV you have.
That's a good call out - I have a pretty old pretty shitty TV downstairs. It only has two HDMI connections, and the above referenced yamaha unit needs one of them. Well both of mine are occupied...there is also something called DVI Audio port - is that simply AUX?
I see that currently I have the audio not routed from the tv but rather directly from the cable box. the cable box has multiple hdmi ports as well as an optic audio port. So I should be fine with that, as long as I don't watch DVDs! I wanted to the other day, and found out my player was dead - it was a bluray player. Anyway, that went into the trash and in its place I pulled out a really old regular DVD player that isn't even HDMI
I might have to upgrade that at some point...I have such a large library of DVD's - I was going through it last night and I'd love to watch some of them.
