RX-8010VBK Can someone answer some questions for me?

http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?model...L026350&page=2

I posted about this JVC Receiver a few months back


I am thinking of finally picking it up, well, at least asking for it for Christmas


I notice the description lists it as having:

5 Composite Video Inputs
5 S-Video Inputs

(unrelated but also included)
2 Component Inputs


Does this mean, with 5 Composite and 5 S-Video I will have room to hook up 10 or more Devices to this receiver?


It sounds like a lot, but I want to clear it up

Can I hook up at LEAST 5 composite Devices AND
5 S-Video Devices

for a total of at LEAST 10?

AND...

Does this receiver come equipped with Dolby Pro-Logic 2?

It would be nice, since I just got a Game Cube


If it does not have "Dolby Pro Logic II" can anyone recommend the next cheapest JVC brand that DOES have it?


Cheers!

why are you only looking at JVC?
Onkyo and Denon make much nicer stuff, IMO, and aren't much more expensive.

while i can understand up to a point, i think all Onkyo receivers come with a learning remote.

I don't know. I guess I just got soured on JVC after my 701 DVD player was such a royal pain in the rear.

There are alot of great rcvrs out there. I have a JVC 888=9010 this year. Great unit//

BUT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
No stereo on the rear channels, no discrete rear amps.

Be sure to buy a rcvr with at least 5 separate discrete amps and dolbyII// This will pump real sound into your rear amps when you listen to cd's. CD's are only in stereo=s u c k s big time!!!!
My list of el-cheapo good rcvrs is:

1. Sony 1075 for $394=6 discrete amps
2. thats it


List of real expensive marriage breaking rcvrs.

1. Yamaha 2200
2. Denon 3802
3. Onkyo 898= divorse at Christmas

What are the differences between the 9010 and the 8010 ?


Does the 8010 or 9010 Have Dolby Pro Logic II ?



What do you mean no stero in the rear?

And is the remote with either receiver a "learning remote"

I have been looking at the Pronto TSU-1000 (or 2000) anyway, so no matter I guess (IF I ever give in and get it!) :-)

Thanks guys



--Oh, and this is for a fairly small room with a low ceiling, in my parent's home (the old attic) so it does not have to be mega powerful)


I would like Pro Logic II for the gamecbue though
