What is Good Quality & Simple to use AV receiver?


What is a good basic, simple to operate AV receiver?

I only will be hooking up a BluRay player, TV, and 5.1 speakers. About 100 wpc 5.1 is all I need.
Many have so many options and configurations, internet, etc that I don't need.
I just want very good sound, good picture, and easy remote.

Who ever got it to test that way just solved the worlds energy
problems.Perhaps a perpetual power amp?It may have been tested
at 1khz only.The SR6003 only consumes up to 600 watts total, that includes thermal loss.They have a lot of loopholes for rating receivers to get by the FTC true RMS 20-20,000hz rating.Here is Marantz stating it only consumes 600 watts in the link.Not to many receivers meet the all channel 20-20,000 true rating.[http://us.marantz.com/Products/2515.asp]
Marantz states 7x100 watts 20-20,000khz.I'd love to here why it consumes 600 watts.Oh,they did leave out continuous!Typical loophole they like to use.It may still be a good sounding receiver even though they don't give the real power rating.[http://us.marantz.com/SR6003_Spec_sheet_11182008.pdf]
There isn't a huge selection of choices for AVR's with all digital amplification. The one that comes to my mind is from Panasonic, model SA-XR57S. Which has had decent reviews. Personally, i like diferent AVR's for different reasons. My Cambridge Azur 640R is my reference receiver, but my Yamaha SA-XR57S has an excellent auto setup via microphone, as well as the ability to run pure signal, bypassing tone controls, etc. My old Denon AVR1802 5.1 receiver had an amazing pre-out that I hooked up to an Integra 2.1 receiver. It was the most detailed, nuetral pre out I've ever heard on an AVR. What I mainly look for now in an AVR is the ability to to up-convert analog video to 1080p HDMI. The newer Pioneers are well regarded in this area.
