I am curious about what other members have done to integrate Composite, S-Video with Digital Audio, Component with Digital Audio with new AVR's that don't have any of those inputs, just HDMI.

I have a Denon AVR5700 I am looking to use to control all the analog video and audio to match and find some way to convert those signals to 1.3 HDMI to run through a modern AVR. So many new AVR's do not have composite, S-Video, or Component anymore.

There's a whole forum about video processors to achieve just that.

Lumagen Radiance 21x4

Make sure you do a few basic searches on the forum first or most people won't reply to you on existing topics.

I don’t have this problem. If an AVR only had HDMI I’d never buy it in a million years. It’s totally incompatible with the vast majority of my gear and therefore a nearly unusable product. It can sit on the shelf forever, as far as I’m concerned.

Seconded, the very same reason that I'll never upgrade(?) my Arcam AVR 600 to their current top line HDMI only AVR also.

I just plug my LD straight into my TV, was looking at larger ones at wallyworld and they still have TVs with composite so we are still fine in the LD world.

I can't afford thousands on AV gear when I have a 150 year old house.

This. :thumbup:

If I ever decide I need HDMI, I will use an ADV7842 between my player and display and call it a day.

I really don’t need my AVR to do a single thing with video except switch it, and even that doesn’t really matter. What it needs is a number of quality amps and spec surround chips. What it needs to do primarily is sound. An HDMI-only receiver seems totally stupid to me. WTF is even inside the thing? Just a digital amp and a chip with a ton of the same port wired to it? And all of them DRM-ed? And it’s totally incompatible with records, tapes, most CD players, every LD player, nearly every VCR, electronic musical instrument or any gear whatsoever made before 2004? Sounds like total garbage to me. A piece of audio gear...that can’t handle actual audio unless it’s digitized, packed and encrypted to a legal specification first, one that it remains trapped in.

Is it mobile? Like, is it for an Escalade or something? What do you play your Super Nintendo on?

How I feel about modern bookshelf stereo systems. RCA input? What's that? Here's a f***ing iPod dock though!
