My current JVC Receiver doesn't have the 5.1ch analog inputs required to listen to SACD and DVD-A. Also, I just bought the Denon DVD-1920 which is connected through HDMI to my plasma tv and now the video lags behind the audio, and my receiver does not have an audio delay option.
So I'm in the market for a new receiver.
Since I believe it's important that brands match, I'm currently looking at Denon receivers. So far I'm particularly interested in the AVR-1906 because it has a lot of options and is relatively cheap (about $400 in my neck of the woods). The only thing it's lacking (AFAICT) is that it doesn't have any HDMI inputs/outputs.
But the thing I'm wondering about is: why would I need HDMI on my receiver? If there were multiple HDMI inputs then the HDMI switching would be nice, but as long as I only have one device with HDMI output (my DVD player), I don't need HDMI on the receiver, right? Or is there any other advantage I'm overlooking here?
