need new reciever..under 2k

[htenthusiast]

I need a new receiver also and need some help. My requirements are 2 hdmi OUTS, all modern audio decoding, 7.1 setup. The less expensive to get these features, the better. Other than that everything else doesn't matter.

Did you really mean 2 HDMI outputs? Are you going to connect to 2 HDTVs?

Unless you are looking for assignable HDMI outputs, you may just want to get an HDMI Y-cable to output to 2 HDTVs.

I will be hooking up to two different tv's. My theater and family room sit side by side and I want to be able to play my source material on both with nothing but an hdmi cable going to the family room display from the back of my receiver. My friend has that setup but I can't afford 10k for the denon separates. I need another, cheaper source. Even the integra 9.9 is stretching it.

Still not real clear if you want to be able to watch different sources on the two TVs or the same on both.
