Help w/ AVR/Denon 3805...HDMI possibilities?

Jdubbs

My current set up is a Denon 3805 with Polk RM 20's with a Polk 10" sub and it rocks for my first system. I am in the process of remodeling another family room and will be in the market for an additional system (questions to follow another time). So far I got a 55" LED sitting in the box.

For now, I'd like to discuss my Denon 3805, I love it except for the fact that it doesnt have HDMI (I bought it 4 yrs ago for $400 from a good friend of mine!!) Can I somehow hook this up to a switcher/connector, so I can use HDMI for my TV? Is there such a device or a way I can use HDMI for obvious benefits such as reduced wire clutter??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response...any suggestions on brand/model?

Mike is right, however keep in mind if you use the digital Coax or TOSLINK optical cable from your source to your AVR for your audio you won't be able to take advantage of the new losless codecs (IE Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio) since neither of them will pass the HD audio signal. The picture will be good with component cables from your HD source to your AVR, only if your source has the component cable hook ups. Welcome to Club Polk.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I am setting up another system and so far I have the Samsung 55" LED 7 series. I am leaning towards the Polk VM20's for L, C, R and VM10's for rears. I'm on the fence for a sub...between the Polk DSW 600 and the Def Tech Supercube III. Any suggestions for an AVR in the $500-600 range? was thinking about the Pionner elite VSX 23thx.
