7.1 Channel Analogue inputs, one digital coaxial input and a fiber optic input.

Then give the receiver .04% THD, 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and the ability to play the whole sound range a human can hear. Which isn't really asking that much at all, that last one, how many receivers already do that? Just about all of them.

And give it nothing else.

Why? Well, all I need then is a profile 2.0 BD player with 7.1 Channel analog outputs and the ability to internally decode Dolby TruHD and DTS-MA. And component outputs. Then add my satellite or cable box on the digital coaxial input. My Xbox 360 can use the fiber input.

Plug all said components into the TV using component video. Why? so my Xbox 360 and BD player can be halfway around the room very close to in front of me, HDMI doesn't have good length support yet.

Then hook it all together with a Harmony Universal Remote. Don't need CEC when there is Harmony. Thats why I went for a BD player and not the PS3: active IR port (and I really play nothing on the PS3).

My one problem is lip-synch. I've never seen a problem with it before, but it'd be great if there was a way (maybe a disc, like the THX optimizer or an HD Essentials disc) to just make sure its all synched in well. Give my cable or satellite a channel which has a color setup menu so I can set the color like I would for my other ports on my Xbox 360 and BD Player (I'm sure that the xvYcc colorspace can be sent through component as well as HDMI 1.3). Then sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Well that got long winded, but I guess you guys now know what my perfect receiver would be, along with perfect HD setup.]]>Mar 25th 2008 10:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/25/onkyos-tx-sa606x-receiver-handles-aquos-viera-and-regza-hdmi-c/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/25/onkyos-tx-sa606x-receiver-handles-aquos-viera-and-regza-hdmi-c/Mar 26th 2008 10:31AM
