But, these receivers are from Sony's Elevated Standard line. The ES line is excellent and they compared rather well with Denon, Onkyo (including their Integra line), Harman/Kardon, Pioneer ELITE, and Outlaw Audio.

I bet there is one S-video input on the front.

I have a 5300ES and I don't use any of my S-video inputs (or composite), but I wouldn't want to give them up.]]>Sep 5th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/sonys-str-da6400es-and-str-da5400es-receivers-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/05/sonys-str-da6400es-and-str-da5400es-receivers-hands-on/
The good news: it has an HDMI connector on the front! Awesome!

The bad news: it doesn't have an s-video connector on the front. So that does mean it has zero total.]]>Sep 5th 2008 1:02PM
