I have more or less decided the set up for my Home Theatre room. Concealed cabling has been finished for all speakers, subwoofer and projector (Composite, Component & HDMI). All cables are DAC. Other equipment will be
Projector: Panasonic AX200 with Screen 12 feet away
Speakers: Wharfedale Diamond 10.1, 10CS, 10DFS and SW150/SX
(Polk RTi also considered but as of now Diamonds)
DVD Player: Philips with composite, component, co-axial and 5.1 multi-channel outputs. This I already have.
STB: Tata Sky (already have)
Music: iPod Touch 32GB (already have)
Console: Nintendo Wii
Camcorder: Sony MiniDV (already have)
Now the question is about AVR. I have in use a Yamaha RX-V357 (110W x 5 @1KHz. 2 component, 1 Co-axial, 2 Optical, 4 Analog, 1 Multi-channel inputs) which is now 4 years old. It has no HDMI at all, but 2 component outs. But as of now none of the above sources have HDMI either. Even the projector is HD ready which can be done by component cable.
AVR: Do I need to upgrade in order to keep up with the projector, Wii and drive the Diamonds (is the power enough)? If existing AVR can run in the set up then I will upgrade AVR when I switch to BDP and other HD sources.
What are your suggestions? Also feel free to comment on any other part the setup.

Raghav
