| Re: How about the HTS894???
An hdmi passthrough means that the AVR only acts as an HDMI switch, selecting from multiple (well, 2) HDMI sources to send to your display. It DOES NOT take any audio information from the HDMI cable, which means no DolbyTrueHD or DD+, and you have to hook up a separate audio connection which means more cables. For this reason, the sr800 should be crossed off your list.
