The head unit is an older JVC amp / tuner that has worked fine, but is showing its age.

I'd like to replace it with something modern, that:
1. I can connect via bluetooth for media streaming, at least audio, but video would be a bonus too.
2. I'd like AM/FM.
3. Needs HDMI in and out. RCA composite isn't absolutely necessary, but would be a plus so some of my older equipment could be accommodated.
4. Needs a solid surround decoder, with center and sub channels too.
5. Needs at least 3 inputs: digital tv, roku, dvd player.
6. Something that'd be WICKED cool, but by no means necessary, would be android- application controllable, for functions like volume, source, etc.


Any body immersed in this world, that could guide me a bit?

TIA

It's been 10 years since I've bought my Yamaha RXV-667 receiver but it's working like a champ since. It has everything you need for your application besides bluetooth, but they make wireless bluetooth audio adapters thats plugs into the remote port via auxiliary cable. I bought it new for 600-700$ can't remember exactly the price, but I see it available now for a few hundred used, and refurbished 300-400$

Haven't been in the scene for a while, but I'm sure it's standard that they make bluetooth built into the newer receivers. hope this helps
