Hey everybody!! Hope you are doing great.
I'm trying to get a receiver for a 5.1 system I was gifted (Klipsch speakers + sub).
Some context: AVR Receivers prices in my country are extremely high due to ridiculously high taxes + shipping weight (they cost 3x to 4x times US price, and local shops don't really have any units in stock due to customs restrictions).
For this reason, I want to get the cheapest possible used receiver to hook it up to my 4K TV (Samsung TU7000, which outputs DD via optical).
I will be streaming Netflix on the TV's APP (I understand Netflix outputs DD+ 5.1, which should be backwards compatible with my TV's optical DD, although I've read this is not always the case and I don't really have the option to test it).
Which are the minimum features I'd need to get this to work? My whole intention is to have basic 5.1.
Could I get away with an old AVR that just has optical inputs and supports Dolby Digital? Is that it? Is there anything else I may need?
I dont care about room correction, video passthrough, HDMI ports, pre-outs, etc.
Thank you very much in advance!!
