KEEPING IT REAL If you've gone and bought yourself one of those high-def disc players, you're going to want a receiver with the hardware to handle all that HD goodness. Yamaha's RX-V2700 is up to the challenge, with HDMI connectors that can pass through those crispy 1080p signals from your HD DVD or Blu-ray player. All other video gets upconverted to 1080i or 720p. Whatever you're watching, though, you need just one cable to your HDTV.

HEARING AID Special processing onboard the V2700 is said to compensate for detail lost in compressed music, filling out the streams from your PC (via USB) or iPod (via an optional $100 dock). $1,700 yamaha.com/yec/ 800-492-6242
