    Doesnt look like that has any HDMI inputs iluvendo.

    I found this one, that Im contemplating possibly buying the future. Although Im a bit rusty on Home Audio, so not even sure how the heck id hook stuff up.

    http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony...id/-12851/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do#prodspecs

    Seems like a pretty good deal, and Sony stuff lasts forever.

    Any chance some1 could tell me how Id hook my stuff up to this?

    I currently have...
    42" Toshiba Regza LCD TV (has 4 HDMI ports)
    Sony Playstation 3 - connected to TV through HDMI port 1
    Toshiba DVD player - connected to TV through HDMI port 2

    Now this Sony Amplifier has
    2 HDMI Inputs
    1 HDMI Output
    1 Digital audio (TOSLINK) input

    i bought an onkyo tx-sr875 that has 4 hdmi connections and judging by reports outclasses everything else,but not cheap and awaiting speaker cable and that is not cheap either.
