the #1 reason i bought this receiver is the varied & number of components that can be connected to it: 2-VCRs, DVD, tape/MD , turntable, CD, CD-R, 2 component (RGB) inputs, plus 4 primary digital audio inputs, and one extra composite & digital input in the front panel. trust me, i've tried to utilize every last input simultenously...the current set-up is: VCR, 3 DVD players (yes, 3!), CD-R, tape, turntable, VCR, DVR, digital cable, and PS2. all the video outputted to an HDTV. makes for a nest of wires in the back, but i don't mind it. the units also decodes practically any form of Dolby (2.0, 5.1, Pro Logic I & II, etc.) plus DTS (5.1 & 6.1 + ES), and the sound is clear & plenty loud. the only complaint i would have is with the remote...UNLIT remote, so either don't try to use it in the dark, OR memorize the keys.

Great product, even better price. Looking for a good receiver with a center pre-out to be able to use my Toshiba HDTV T.V. speaker as the center speaker. Works great, good value, just dont try to use the remote in the dark.
