Recommendations for cheap HT Receiver?

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap (<$500) HT receiver that sounds good? It will be used in a system with a 27" Sony Wega TV, a Pioneer DV-333 DVD player, and a Mitsubishi VCR. (Speakers TBD later...) The only features that I must have are remote, and S-video/composite video switching. Dolby digital and DTS are required but THX is not. Are there any receivers in that price range that stand above sonically, or are they all equally crappy? I was considering a Pioneer simply to match the DVD but I would try another brand if it is a lot better. This is not the primary system in the house. It will be dedicated to satellite TV and movies, as well as background FM listening during the day.
Thanks in advance,
