What amp?

[Dingleberry88]

Looking for an amp that has 2 HDMI inputs, 1 component and 1 co-axial.

I think...

Basically I'm want something that I can plug my 360 (via component) HTPC (HDMI), and HDTV into.



As cheap as possible.

So spec me please!

Do you want it to output the component input via hdmi?
As i have the Sony 1200Es that has the input/outputs you need and is only £300 but i have to output component via component and anything on a hdmi by hdmi so cant just leave my tv on one inmput.

If you want to output everything via hdmi i'd probably recommend the Onkyo 605

Either HDMI or component - doesn't really matter.


I had a look at the Onkyo you suggested, but it's a bit more than I was wanting to pay.



What about the Sony HT-DDW790?

Seems to be everything I need:

Inputs
4 audio ins
2 digital ins (1 optical, 1 coaxial)
2 HDMI video ins

Outputs
1 HDMI video out
Speaker connections

For about £160/170.

Any good (when I say any good, I know it's not going to be anything special, but it can't be any worse than using the speakers built into the TV) ?


Edit: I'm aware it comes with speakers. I was originally going to get an amp and seperate speakers, but if I can get a whole package for that price I'm not complaining!

From what you've said, a £200ish all in one (as that sony) will suit

It isn't particularly good (comparatively), but from what you've said, thats not a problem.

EDIT - make sure it has all the functions you require - search avforums for a review or something - as you may be left wanting.

no budget HDMI av amps (onkyoo 505, sony es1200 ect) will process audio over hdmi, meaning you'll beed a seperate connection for the audio in addition to the hdmi video conenctions. something to think about.
