If you are looking for an inexpensive receiver, there is a brand new Marantz 4600 HT receiver (silver) at link for $269.99. It has the full 3 year factory warrantee. I have the 4500 (last year's) receiver, and it's very easy to use, including the universal remote that comes with it. Just a thought!
