[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 848175, member: 98509"] Hi there, I am using an old Sony 5.1 surround system (no HD, no HDMI), but the fan has gone, so I managed to replace it, but they dont last long and it runs hot. I have recently built a new HTPC, but it appears the SPDIF does not work (well I cant get it to work!!) - Its a lot of work to replace the motherboard :( So I am thinking its time for a new AV receiver - one that supports HD and HDMI. I had/have narrowed it down to a Marantz, Sony, or Yamaha - at the moment the Yamaha RX-V671 is my prefered option (although I probably wont use 60% of its features!) Anyone have this amp?? J.
