I do not think it has Analog inputs nor pre-outs (only needed if you ever want to use it as a pre-amp), and it cannot upscconvert component or SD inputs to DMI output. It is also only a 5 system but if you never plan to go with speakers with it that is not a problem either. It is a pretty powerful receiver though at wpc at 20-20k so if you have inefficient speakers this should still power them well.

There are cuts made to features in this model get a price of only $330.00 street pricing, but if those things are not needed, it will sound fantastic and is a solid receiver otherwise IMO.
