[QUOTE="bikejunkie223, post: 1293964, member: 563147"] Make sure the reciever you buy has component video switching and at least 4 digital audio inputs (either optical or digital coax) That way it won't be obsolete as technology advances, and you won't have to change your TV's source, the reciever will do it. Wattage in a home stereo app, is totally different than in a car, unless you are running some extremely power hungry speakers (like Dynaudios) you don't need more than around 75w per channel, except for the sub, and subs are nearly always self-powered. Virtually all recievers have a Dolby chip in them, which means they all do the same Dolby decoding, so that is a wash for the most part. Stick with major brands, and you will be happy, just make sure it does at least 2 component video in hookups, and a component video out monitor- these are the plugs that are 5 cable rca's- 3 for video and 2 for audio- required for High-Def TV.
