Ethernet Port and Web Browser in Audio Video Receiver
Posted by Male Muse in Computers, Featured, Hi-Fi, Music, Tech on February 2, 2008 | No Comments
Has anyone compiled a list of entertainment system audio-video receivers that include a Ethernet port and a web browser that allow the control of the source and volume controls?
I have found a few receivers that seem to do what I want such as:
Yamaha RX-Z11 (+ $4,000)
Onkyo TX-NR905 (+ $1,500)
Denon AVR-4306 (+1,300)
However, I don’t need anything this high end.
If you know of a resource for web browser enabled receivers a link would be appreciated. Thanks.

What a world we live in. Steve Jobs makes a comment about the Zune and the whole world gets it's panties in a bunch. Allegedly Robbie Bach made a comment that the Zune was a worthy alternative to the iPod. When Steve Jobs was asked about the statement he asked if Bach was inebriated. More likely Robbie was hitting the pipe. I mean we are talking about the frigging Zune. Oh yeah, they are just flying off the shelves.
I have to agree with Jobs question also: "Do you even know anyone who owns a Zune?" I know I don’t.
