Well, it looks like I finally got the OK to pick up a Blu-Ray player and stereo. I guess a new Twilight movie is coming out so my wife wants to have a party for all her girlfriends to watch it before they go see the new one.

I want to spend around $500.

I currently have a 5.1 system setup and I don't think I will be going to 7.1 anytime soon.

I need to have at least 4 HDMI inputs (PC, Xbox360, STB, BR) but 5 would give me option if I buy a PS3 or Google Set-top box.

I'd like to have RCA outs to a second (or more) zones.
I'd like to have an On Screen Display.
I'd like to have HD Radio.

I was looking about a year ago, but it was pushed back. Then I was looking at:
Denon AVR-790 link
Onkyo TX-SR607 link
Yamaha RX-V565 link

Are there any new models out that I should be looking into?

I'm a big fan of Harman Kardon, but my receiver is a couple years old with only 2 HDMI in's.

Picked up an auto HDMI Switch 3-1 and now I have 4.
