RE: I did not consider the sync issue.

Posted by cfraser on June 20, 2009 at 13:18:20:
Don't be frightened off because of that, many people get by just fine using the mch analog outputs for movie sound. It's just that the sync is pretty much "automatic" when both video and audio are HDMI.
One other thing that is usually more convenient/flexible when not handled at the player is bass management. BM is done at the player when mch analog outputs are used.
I'm in Canada. Very often (almost always) new models are introduced in the U.S. some months before here. The replaced models are often redirected up here and are available "cheap" for some months longer. For instance, the S550 (with mch analog outs) is commonly available here now for ~US$225, and IMO that is a good first choice since it should integrate with just about any system. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some S550s hanging around in the U.S. for an even better price.
