Wow. I haven't used composite video since I needed it to see the OSD on my 990 when I initially set it up and haven't used S-video for anything in at least 6 or 7 years. HDMI makes things a LOT simpler. If I was in a niche market to sell to audiophile types and was cutting corners to fit important stuff in the budget, those are two connection options that I'd eliminate straight away.
