Ok, my reciever, intermidantely has been losing audio coming into it from the cable box. It just stops and accepts no audio, it did it tonight during lost for almost 15 minutes. The dvd audio coming into it was fine.

My question:

I was looking at the Onkyo 605 & 705 but the 705 says it only has pass through HDMI. If I read it correctly (and correct me if i mess up) but the HDMI in only processes the video and not the audio. so I would still have to run an optical or coax cable for audio.

Is there a receiver that processes the new audio formats for less then $1000?
