Can receivers handle Svid and RCA at same time?

I've been doing my homework and it looks like HT rcvrs can only work with one type of connection at a time. I would like to go with all S-video, even if I have to sell my two old VCRs and get a new one with Svid, because it seems if you use RCA composite inputs on the rcvr, the video won't come out on the S-video output, and vice-versa. I have a nice Mits. tv, but the Svid input physically cuts out the RCA input, so hooking up both is futile, and I have a digital camcorder w/Svid outs (and ins? can't remember) that I REALLY like.
Is this a limitation, of all or some rcvrs? Should I get a RCA-to-Svid convertor for the VCRS, or TV, or both? I just don't want to plunk down big bucks for a nice rcvr and be stunned by limitations that I can't forsee. Thanks in advance, all these boards are great.
