I/O Back side includes HDMI, component Video, S-video, audio 5.1, scart, optic and koaxial output.On the front panel is placed conector USB 1.1 for USB devices...Extra interesting is the quality of sound which some DVD players are having bad quality...Quality of sound was pretty good with nice serve of acustic which i wasnt able to heat on my older players...

Hello, I'm new here and putting together my first set up...I'm between Yamaha RX-V661 or Pioneer VSX 1017TXV-K and will definetly go with one of the 2 and nothing else...I'm leaning towards Pioneer as I've read that it has great movie sorround modes but the Yamaha seems to be so well regarded for receivers in this price range.Please throw in your 2 cents...
