I am about to upgrade my amp from a RX-V365 to something that does HD sound over hdmi (in fact sound over HDMI at all!), but hdmi pass through in standby is essential. My wife wants nothing to do with av equipment, so during the day, the amp has to just sit there on standby and not cause any fuss.
Here are the requirements
Cost less than £300 (much less if possible)
4 hdmi inputs
iPod/iPhone dock connection
Hdmi pass through on standby
I will be connecting ps3, Sony blu ray and freeview hd recorder, by HDMI
As I said, the amp will not be used for sound when its just the kids etc. But when I go to watch a movie or play on the PS3, I want the capability.
Here is the main issue, the Freeview Recorder does not have CEC, so I am guessing I need a system that does passthrough on the last input, but that can auto switch when a DVD is started. Then go back when the DVD is turned off. Is this even possible?
I have considered:
Sony STR-DH810 (good price at the moment)
Yamaha RX-V371 (not clear if this does pass through)
Pioneer VSX-421/521
Has anyone got a similar setup and got pass through working well. I have found many many problems on the forum!
Thanks
