Yamaha RX - V 471 Feedback/Review

[AVlover]

Hi All Experts,

I have been a member of HIFIVision for an year now and after a long wait (economic wait) finally I have made up my mind to do a good purchase for me
One HTiB and one LED/Plasma TV 40/42 for a room size of 15x15.

So here are my choices
for HTiB I have almost finalized Yamaha RX V471 and have got an offer of 34K with Yamaha Speakers in Pune ... any guidance/feedback/input is welcome

For the TV - with 3D capabilities I am still deciding among following
1. Plasma/LED .. what should be a deciding factor between these...?
2. Sony (NX720/EX720), Panasonic (ST30/UT30), Samsung (UA40D6000SR)

Have few queries about 3D television though.
I read some terminologies like Full HD 3D, 3D comb filter, 3D sync transmitter, Simulated 3D... could anyone please guide me to understand these and which of these are necessary to play 3D movies from any input....?

Also the HTiB I have selected does not have a network connectivity so I have a question as if I am playing some thing on a TV from network then Can I use the HDMI connectivity between TV and AVR to route the AUDIO using the HDMI audio return function from TV to AVR and play sound through AVR ....?

I am not sure if this facility is there in the TV models I am looking for, I am still checking it. Any other method to route audio only from TV to AVR...

hope I have put up my queries in an understandable and clear manner ...

Any guidance feedback will help me a lot

I will be collecting all info in next week or so and going to do my final purchase in DEC last week.

Thanks to all the members for a valuable guidance till now and in future as well this is a great AV community to be in...

Regards,
AVLover

Rx-v 471, very good avr, only thing is that its little sensitive, THD hits 0.1% @ 32.5 watts and 1% @ 35.1 watt at all 5 channels driven continously at 8 ohms. Denon 1612, Pioneer 821 distort at almost double wattage,so yamaha 471 is not very power savy,if u have small room its a very good choice though.
