Summary
Here's your ideal introduction to the highly connected world of high-definition entertainment. This supremely robust, and surprisingly affordable, Elite A/V receiver puts an array of audio and video sources entirely at your command. Six digital inputs include two HDMI inputs for all-digital, one-cable connections for high-definition 1080p sources, like tomorrow's Blu-Ray Disc® content. Just plug and play, and experience lossless signals without the tangle of wires. This Elite receiver even plays well with older S-Video and composite video, converting both to component video for easy connection to your HDTV or monitor.
