Deal of the Day: Onkyo TX-SR504 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver

There's nothing I dig more than a A/V Receiver with the ability to integrate an XM receiver. That's why I really like the Onkyo TX-SR504 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver which has quite a few other features at a truly reasonable price. According to Amazon.com:

The TX-SR504 goes above and beyond by giving you the capability to switch up to three high-definition components for simple connection to HDTVs. So, on top of sensational DVD movies and your own music catalog, the TX-SR504 easily integrates recorded video content, live high-definition broadcasts and the most gripping console games.

Using the TX-SR504’s onboard Neural Audio decoder, XM HD Surround is possible with the free-form music channel Fine Tuning (XM Channel 76) and XM Pops (XM Channel 113), as well as with a variety of special shows and live music performances.
