Basically every type of input in the back: HDMI, component, S-Video, composite, and RF.
Side has some video input, headphone output.
The above set seems to be sold out. Â But this is not all a bad thing. Â I'm thinking it was put into closeout to make way for putting the very similar successor model there. Â Essentially it seems like the same set but with fewer mixed reviews and complaints to be found online, which seems like a Good Thing.

Since people other than me randomly end up here: Ended up going with an Onkyo S580 (or something like that) instead. Â Similar features, but it seems Onkyo's reputation is quite nice among the cheapo receiver+speakers sets, so since I found one for a few dozen bucks less that didn't seem to be missing any of the features I was concerned about, I went with it.
