This Could Be Your Tipping Point!
I offer my perspective as someone who has purchased and used several Yamaha receivers over the years, with upgrades required as the technology ratcheted up to encompass various new video capabilities, sound processing superpowers, and most recently HDMI inputs/outputs, leading up to the new HDMI 1.4 standard for 3D playback. I have NEVER fried out a Yamaha receiver--but let me hasten to add that I don't abuse them at high volume over lengthy periods of use either.

My current reciever was/is a formidable RX-V1800, which is a mid-level dreadnought of a Yamaha receiver.

It IS of course possible to simply feed the blu-ray player (a Sony PlayStation 3 in my case) directly into the TV and enjoy the 3D picture with the TV speaker output (which certainly works), but no one could be happy...

The display is clear and easy to understand, and speaker configuration on it is easy to configure and handled in a way that makes it a piece of cake to tweak to your liking.
If you're just looking at getting started, don't have an extravagant AV setup, and want something that sounds good and is future proof for a reasonable price I couldn't find a better way to go than with this receiver. I only have it set up with just 2...
