Only 1 set of L/R audio outputs? That kind of stinks, my 811 has two sets that I use to connect to my DVD Recorder and my TV. Nice to see it will have high-def component output though, I assumed it would only have HDMI for HD.

Not unless I misunderstood what he meant. I thought he was saying the receiver was called "200" rather than "211". What did Adam mean?
