One consern that i do have is listed under "Prouduct Info" there is a bullet that reads: 2 HDMI Inputs and 1 Output (1080p Pass-thru). I have no clue what that means and was wondering if it could turn into a problem. Also, i was wondering what commments you guys could make on the quality and of the Onkyo systems. Thanks as Ever |

I am not sure which Onkyo model you're considering, but I believe the Onkyo HT-SP904 supports the latest HDMI 1.3a standard for full audio/video compatibility. |
