Well since its getting warmer im assuming my reciever isn't happy with that, I have a HK AVR-435 that likes to shut off randomly. I've switched out the circuit i plug it into, checked for dust, change the banana plugs, just to make sure it wasn't a short somewhere. I think i've figured out that its getting warmer... its the only other logical reason i can think of aside from theres plenty of good movies finally coming out and my reciever likes to piss on my wheaties.

Well now im looking to replace it with something and would like someones input.:look: :look:
Currently i have my 60" Kuro hooked up through a HTPC with a Blu-Ray player and a Auzen X-Mystique 7.1 Gold sound card http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-mystique.php. Sound card was purchased back in 2005 with the reciever. i have a 7.1 speaker set up which is also made by HK, HKTS14 plus two more matching speakers to fill out the 7.1.

I have been looking at the Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver or the model under that the VSX-919AH-K. I cant personally see a difference aside from the 1019 is $100 more and if there is a difference, would i really notice if im having the computer handle all the video and audio?

Is there a better option for what I need it to do? Also, should I just go ahead and upgrade the sound card at the sametime, if so anyone wanna toss out a suggestion as to which one? I know a lot of people here are more knowledgeable than I when it comes to this stuff, I just know how to set it up and enjoy it :)
