·First time poster here and I need help to pick an AVR.
My HDTV has 4 HDMI connections, so my DVR and DVDs are connection to the TV via HDMI and use the TV as switch. I want to connect the DVR and DVD's to AVR via optical cable for audio. My room is wired for 5.1 speakers and I have purchased the 5 speakers.
Questions:
1. Since I am using the TV as switch, are there any benefit in having an AVR with HDMI?
2. One of my DVD has upconverting capability, are there any benefit in connecting it to AVR via HDMI and have the AVR upconvert again? would that improve video quality by upconverting twice?
3. If I don't really need an AVR with HDMI, that means I can buy an older AVR. What should I look for in an older AVR (ie ProLogic2? Dolby digital etc.,)
Thanks for helpng.
