This unit is obviously previewing the final demise of analog video connections.


I noticed that too and agree with this direction for the most part. However, I think phono, analog CD, and multi-channel analog input will have to be supported for the foreseeable future. Conversely, I would not be surprised if component disappeared from receivers within the next generation or two of receivers/prepros. I also wouldn't be surprised if the number of coax and toslink connectors are reduced-but not eliminated-in the next generation or two.
