I need help finding a receiver Dave & Kimmy 11-27-05

Hi there!!
Thanks for looking to see if you can help me. My wife and have have
been enjoying our Sony Grand Wega LCD projection for a couple of years
now and now we want to uprade the audio to a nice surround sound system.
What I'm hoping to find is a receiver that I can switch all of my video
through with the loss of the least amount of video quality. The problem
I'm finding is that my DVD player and cable box both have DVI outputs
that I would like to use through the receiver to the DVI input on the TV.
So I guess I need a receiver with at least 2 DVI inputs as well as 1 DVI
output. Denon has been recommended to me but it seems like Denon and
everyone else is using HDMI inputs and outputs now. Any ideas on a
receiver that would allow this or any ways around what now seems my
outdated DVI intput on the TV {besides a new TV}?

Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom,
Dave

You can get adapters for your existing cables or get new cables with DVI and
HDMI on
either end.

Hi,
I believe there is DVI/HDMI adaptor cable. There is also DVI/component
converter. Now it's mostly component and some HDMI is the thing.
Good luck.
