Thanks Sieghard. I was looking at Robert Silva's ratings of home theater receivers on about.com, and he classifies midrange receivers as ranging from $400 to $1300. BTW, the web site is http://hometheater.about.com/od/avreceiversreviews/tp/aatpmidavra.htm
I did look at AppleVis.com, and I didn't find anything related to home theater receivers. I did go ahead and downloads the apps for the Onkyo, Denon, Yamaha and Pioneer network capable receivers, and each of them had a demo mode, so although I couldn't play with all of the functionality, it did give me a feel for their accessibility. I still need to play with them some more, but the Onkio and Denon apps seemed pretty accessible. The Yamaha app was either inaccessible or just too confusing for me to figure out and the Pioneer app didn't seem accessible at all.
