10 New Home Theater AV Receivers Less Than $500

How do you get the most out of your HDTV? Add sound to match the widescreen image.

Like the Denon AVR-1513, you get four HDMI inputs on this 5.1 channel entry-level AVR, and lacks component video input jacks to connect a DVD player. But unlike the Denon, you get a front USB jack to directly connect an iPhone or iPod.
