Comments on: Sony's new budget AV receivers packed with features

Sony rolled out four new AV receivers--the STR-DG520, STR-DG720, STR-DG820 and STR-DG920--and from our initial glance at the spec sheet, they seem to offer up a pretty decent bang for your buck.

I have the 5200es

Sony always seems to impress me with its products, I will have to pick up 920 for my game room compared to what I paid for the 5200es its a steal.

$100 per HDMI Input

Believe it or not, but I really like Sony's products. I really like the Bravia HDTVs and wish I could afford one. The nice thing is, I'd need a new receiver to be compatible with that. This actually brings the input devices down to a somewhat reasonable range for the amount of HDMI inputs you get. Show me another AV Receiver priced at $100 per HDMI input with more than 1.

Glaring omission

Why oh why do they leave those old fashioned AV inputs on the front?

It takes years to get receivers with 4 HDMI inputs on the back, but we can't get one in the front?

The newest camcorders, cameras, and other things you would want to quickly plug and show have HDMI.

The only thing I have with that old composite video output is my kids plug-in tv toys, but if that's their issue they could at least have both in front.
