are there any reasonably priced/featured receivers that have on-screen menus via HDMI

Mine will do full color menu overlay. Meaning it won't blank out the screen and instead show the menu on top of what's playing. Not the prettiest looking interface but it's nice to make adjustments visually on the fly. Also I wouldn't consider mine as reasonably priced either. Not sure if the lower model, 1906 has this feature.

The OSD display of the Onkyo HT-RC160 only works when the TV is connected via HDMI output. Not sure about the full color menu overlay thing that jfvang125 mentioned.

I just received mine last week and bought it when it was $317. The price is currently $299. If you consider it, check out a few reviews that show's it's pros and cons.

Does that code still work? I think that is the one I used when it was on sale. I assume the 1214 is meaning Dec. 14th?

I'm already upset about $17 LOL. If it still works I'm going to call and try to get a credit :).

I think the Sony STR-DG920 does HDMI menus? I know my STR-DA2400ES does. No overlay, though, it blanks the screen and puts it right on there.

2310ci is the lowest priced denon model that has the OSD overlay. you can find it on sale for under $900 sometimes though

My Denon AVR-988 has menus on HDMI, but it blanks out the screen for them and it won't do volume display overlay over HDMI.

yup. the hdmi overlay OSD only came this year, on the 2310ci and up, or the avr-990 and up models
