10 New Home Theater AV Receivers Less Than $500
Source: Onkyo
Best New sub-$500 AVRs: Onkyo TX-SR313 ($300)
This 5.1 channel AVR includes four HDMI inputs plus a front panel USB for iPhone/iPod connection plus two sets of component video cables (not quite sure what you need a second set for, but there you go) to connect a DVD player. But possibly best of all, this and Onkyo's other new AVRs allow you to watch TV without turning on the receiver – the HDMI signals from the varying connected box (cable box, Blu-ray player, etc.) gets passed through the powered down receiver from the cable box to your TV.
