Update: I'm back out of the refurb arena. Last night, I was digging around the Internet and found out that the SR7400 does not have any audio delay/lip synch functionality. Since this receiver will be feeding a DLP projector, I really want to be sure that the receiver has that feature.
Incidently, this knocked the Pioneer 1014TX out of the race, as well.
So, I'm now back to a choice between the Marantz SR5500 and the Yamaha RX-V1500. They are generally the same price and the features are similar. The only hesitation I am having with the 5500 is that it only has 4 digital inputs, which would only cover my existing hardware. However, because of my experiences hearing Marantz and Yamaha, I have a preference towards Marantz. Ughhhh....
Oh well....I'll keep churning and eventually come up with a decision.
