this looks like it might have the microphone input for automatically adjusting the sound levels to the room, a nice feature. While I would prefer another black friday sony 510 receiver for $100, since that was nearly 2 years ago, it is long gone. Home Theater receiver deals are rare.

My dear friend grumpydog, to yearn for the days passed is only human. We all seek the beauty, grace and youthful vigor of days forgotten. However a great man once said "to live in the past is to not live at all". How true that is.
