In this day of global competition it is hard to pick where your product is made. The SR-5014 that I have is built in Vietnam. I prefer things that are built in non-communist countries. I feel sure if you have looked at the "MADE IN ..." statement on any box in a store it is increasingly difficult to do that. I have not had my receiver very long but so-far-so-good. MARANTZ has always made a very good product and it appears they still do. If you choose, today you can but adapters to and from almost anything to HDMI. You might try that or just feed the TV directly from the source to the TV for now, and feed the TV audio back to the receiver for that great MARANTZ sound. You do need a new TV for more than one reason. Glad to hear the old plasma TV is still working for you. New HDMI cables have come way down in price. There are still people charging a lot but they are not necessary. Just look at data speed. Have fun and keep listening.
