The Onkyo TX-SR509 is an inexpensive home theater receiver that offers quite a bit. The 509 has a 5.1 Channel amplifier configuration that delivers 80 Watts-per-Channel (measured with 2 channels driven). Audio decoding includes TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio and connectivity provided includes HDMI 3D and 1080p pass through and switching (4 in/1 out), Zone 2 preamp outputs, and HD Radio via optional docking station. Extra bonuses include iPod/iPhone access via USB port, Internet Radio (including Pandora, Rhapsody, and vTuner), and media streaming from other network-connected devices, such as a PC. The TX-NR509 also enhances the quality of MP3 music files via its "music optimizer" function. The Audyssey 2EQ automatic speaker setup system is also provided to make speaker setup easier.

Yea I got one, it’s my third Onkyo system this past year. A lot of bang for the money. The internet radio is great.
