Does anybody know of a HT receiver under $500 with a sleep timer built in?

Thanks,

Check out Yamaha ....

I was looking for a little more than simply check out a brand.

Frankly, I was hopoing to not have to do the research myself....so is there a particular model you like that is below $500 and has the sleep functionality?

Thanks,

George,
Not sure about Denon, HK, Sony, and some of the others, but I am pretty sure Onkyo, Pioneer, and Yamaha have sleep timers.

That said, some of the ones you may want to look at would be(in no particular order):  Pioneer 1015, 1016, Elite 80....Onkyo 603/604/702/703.....Yamaha 657/757

Of those, my preference runs Yamaha, Pioneer Elite, Pioneer, Onkyo.  But as always, ymmv.

Regards,
Jeff

I think most HT receivers have a sleep function; however, I have and would recommend the Marantz SR4600. You can find it for ~300 shipped online.
