Hi all

I've got a pioneer 507xd, sky hd and a pair of mission m33i speakers and need a dvd player and a receiver/amp to hook up to the speakers, I have recently bought a teac dr-h300dab which is an all in one dvd receiver but is faulty, so it is going back to empire direct and no-one seems to have the black one in stock, so I need some advice on what I would need as a replacement, I would like the dvd to upscale (I'm presuming I need this) and the receiver/amp to connect to the speakers, I would prefer the items to be black and have a budget of around ?00.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Suggestion try this a much better combo http://www.richersounds.co.uk/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=CAMB-540R-V2-BLK

A little bit more than ?00 but will drive your Missions all day with NO problem.

Thanks for the recommendations, sorry to be a pain in the back side, but how would I connect these up?

HDMI cable from DVD to TV. DVD VIDEO
Optical cable from DVD to AV amp. DVD SOUND
Stereo phono cable from TV to AV amp. TV SOUND
You then have LOADS of inputs left for LOADS of other things.
Optical cable for SKY+ or HD to AV AMP.

But do check your instructions on inter-connectivity.
