Marantz SR7500 for 1G. Good fidelity, excellent component video switching and easy setup.
The SR5600 fits the price range better but doesn't have the same video circuit and doesn't have flasher inputs.
I'm sure you'll get recomendations for Denon & Yamaha and probably a few others.

The 5600 is my goto for now. What are the differences in the video circuit?

The Integra DTR-5.6 is a killer $800 receiver with great built quality and LOTs of custom installer features.

In my experience, Sony and Mits VCRs will transcode through a Marantz or Denon, but JVC VCRs definitely will NOT...

support TBC. In other words, don't expect the
VCR to be converted to component video. I believe the video circuit intself is just better but I have no data to back that up. Even HD component signals that are just passed through looked better. The TBC is the only difference listed on paper but my guess is that the whole circuit is higher bandwidth. I thought the 7500 also had more speaker setup options but it's been a little while since I did the 5600 so I'd have to double check that. Regardless, I haven't had much problem selling the 7500 over the 5600. The 1G even price point seems to sell OK.

I second the SR7500. Not only do we sell them like crazy, but I own one and have been super impressed. Video passes much cleaner than a Denon (our previous line), considerably better blacks and fine detail via component. Audio setup is a breeze (bypass the MRAC), control is a breeze. Second zone is great for patio speakers or basic, analog DA.

Hi Ed,
while I'm not a professional installer, I am a HT fan, so please excuse my posting here. IMHO, I would take a look at, watch & listen to the Yamaha RX-V2600. It can be had for under 1K and incorporates TBC. I know you said you didn't need HDMI or XM radio ready but it's a nice option to have for the future. If I were a customer I know I would want to upgrade without buying new. It supports HDMI 1.1 audio and has 1 in, 2 out so it can be a 1 cable solution later on. It will take anything you feed it and convert and scale to 1080i/720p. Unfortunately, no 1080p :>( It's 130 watts/ 7 channels @ 8 ohms, has Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-Bit DACs for all channels and
it has a lot of other features. My next door neighbor just got this receiver and now I'm playing second fiddle on the HT block :>( I am saving up my money though.

I second the 1600/2600 but don't think ed wants to discount that much. Do you ed? Get a RXV2500. Retails now for $800 I think. No hdmi but is an awesome reciever. Easy controlability and great array of discrete codes. Rear ir port works with most ir systems and RF systems. It would be my $800 choice. [Link: yamaha.com]

and fine detail via component. Both SR 5600 and SR 7500 are great units .We sell a ton of them without having any issues.When installing the SR7500 make sure you toss that Mic in the trash and set the speakers level your self. I know that sending the video through the receiver and have it switch and up convert the signal is a much easier install. But you will get the best picture going directly to the display. On most displays you have picture adjustment for each input. That is a big plus.

A Pro would use the Marantz 7500!
Yamaha have some nice pieces in that range also!
