Yamaha Natural Sound AV Receiver RX-V2700

The Yamaha Natural Sound AV Receiver RX-V2700 should provide most home theater enthusiasts with everything they need to power their home audio/video system. With support for Dolby and DTS sound formats, three each of HDMI and component video inputs, numerous audio and video inputs (including a phono input!), and support for two additional zones or rooms, this receiver can handle just about anything you can throw at it. Plus, it's XM-ready, featuring XM's new neural surround audio format, which allows you to receive a surround signal from certain XM stations. It supports the optional Yamaha iPod dock, allowing you to control your iPod from the remote. It even has an Ethernet connection, allowing you to access and control media content across your network. The only bad news is the price. Expect to put down a little over a thousand bucks for this if you buy it online. But for its category and capabilities, it's not a bad deal.
