Not enough inputs or outs!
Edit 2: Added a picture of the back of my receiver, for more explanation.

Don't forget, a lot of us still have VHS-C camcorders, VCR's, Playstations, etc... that need the one yellow rca hook up. Be it they can be hooked up to the front of our receivers or tv's (and usually one at a time), but you still need them. I'm always hooking my Canon S400 digital camera to the front of the tv to show off my digital pictures. As for all the S-Video ins, they can eliminate those asap as far as I'm concerned.
Agreed. I still have to use analog inputs on my receiver to go to my VCR which goes to my TV as of my TV doesn't have composite or component outs or ins, for that matter:
However, I would
really like to see more digital inputs on receivers. Even the AVR-5805:
Doesn't have very much. I mean, sure, it has enough for
now but what will happen when stuff starts to use more digital inputs?
Components that a person might use on a receiver that might have dig. inputs:
1. Xbox 360...does that have a digital capability? I don't know for sure (someone else might) but it should. Ok,
there's one component.
2. Playstation3
3. Camcorder - more of these will begin to use digital, proably anyways...
4. DVD player
5. SACD Player (do these use digital?)
There you go, youve used up the digital IN's (toslink, anyways) on the 5805. Now, I know that my 1705 isnt top of the line, but it only has two! I would
gladly sacrefice S-Video for more digital ins/outs!
