Thanks everyone for their replies. Although my receiver took a crap, I really don't feel that bad. Yah, I spend $520, but it was just an expensive lesson I learned.

Now, I guess I will go with something less. I guess I will go back and do research on receivers again :-)

Liitleb:
what reciever do you use?

I only need these inputs:
digital coxial (DVD)
digital tos link (xbox)
digital toslink (TV)

Thats all! Any recommenendations? Will a 3 input receiver (obvously cheaper) sound as good as a 6 input receiver?

I was under the impression, a receiver price is based on the number of inputs, alteast majority of the price...

TIA again!
