Jacks of All Trades

If the back of this new Yamaha 7.1 A/V receiver isn't the most terrifying thing I've ever seen, I don't know what is. By the time you get everything connected to it, entire media formats will have come and gone. I can't help but think of that sequence in George Pal's Time Machine-- while you're hooking up components, the decades, centuries, millennia are passing quickly by outside the window until finally the Morlocks break in and eat all the cabling. The first thing I would play on it would be "In the Year 2525" just for the sake of nostalgia.
And that it uses two remotes is an added bonus.
