Soon, I'll need to pick out a new home theater receiver. My current Sony doesn't have component video inputs, and generally just need an upgrade.

My wish list:

• numeric volume
  
• at least 2 component video inputs (would like 3, but seems like that's only in the higher end stuff)
  
• RF Remote
  
• digital audio (selectable?) looks like I need 4 digital (optical) inputs
  
• mix/match audio/video inputs (as opposed to a preset combination)
  
• onscreen display (hopefully on all inputs, not just some/one)
  
• switch/support HD component video signal
  
• center channel speaker connection - 2 wire connection, not RCA jack
  
• learning remote
  
• upconvert composite / s-video to component video
  
• night listening mode (increases dialog, decreases surround)
  
• 5.1 speaker support, since I dont have 6.1 (center back) speakers
  

What is DPL IIx ? What about DPL II ?

Current inputs:

• HD cable (DVI straight to tv?), digital audio
  
• DVD component, digital audio
  
• ReplayTV component, digital audio
  
• XBox componnet (straight to tv?), digital audio
  
• CD - probably just RCA jacks, can play CDs in DVD :(
