@graphicguy good luck with that new receiver. I had never heard of 13.2 sound formats before, but I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing these days.
One thing I noticed in looking at all the different receivers they have on offer is that none of the manufacturers (at least the ones they carry) seem to have progressed very much in the display department - all of them have the same blue dot-matrix LED displays they had 20 years ago. I would have figured that by now they would have adopted the same sort of color graphic displays that automakers use in the the instument cluster.
lol! So true. You’d think dot matrix displays would be long gone by now. But, the UI on these current receivers for set up are worlds better than what was on my old receiver.
I an't even remember the last time I fired up the receiver and the big speakers on the set up in the family room. We just listen to the speakers on the TV. If I even try to turn up the sound the wife just complains so have to turn it down. Also why the ELS in the RDX is overkill. she won't ever turn the volume over about 7 without complaining it is too loud.
When she is cleaning or doing things around the house we are bumpin’. Lol
At the campground the neighbor was like, what gear are you running in there and how do you have the room? I showed him my slim subwoofer and how I wired it all up.

just now she was in the dining room working on a puzzle with the princess, and I was in the back family room with TV on, and started watching some YouTube videos (JR and Hoovie). she eventually wandered in to say I need to use headphones because she could hear it in the other room. If I ever tried to crank up the tunes or a movie, it would not end well.

In my case it is selective....probably the same would have happened if I was doing what you are doing....but if I clearly said "I will be playing tennis tomorrow" I will get "Why didn't you tell me that before"?
A receiver will be next on my list after the 75"-85" tv and 4K BD plater. I need eARC to get more than 5.1 from the streaming services on the TV.
RB....eARC (enhanced audio return channel for the uninitiated) made a huge difference in the sound quality. Netflix is now streaming some Dolby Atmos content. I suspect other streaming services will follow.
Watched this 4K IMAX disk last night....sound and picture were astonishing....
I was going to say it was a grain of sand (you said it was the thing next to the quarter ), but, these guys really know their moths. Here is an official picture;
"The process is akin to spraying a lot of a certain perfume in a large area with a lot of women, say a Justin Bieber concert. A man is stymied as he tries to find his girlfriend who wears that perfume. Everywhere he can smell the perfume, so he can’t possibly zero in on her. The romance is off, save for the slim chance he’ll run into her in the crowd on his way to the bathroom or to the parking lot."
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.

Not actually that much to report. I think I still have the same cars.
Who'd have figured that in my late 60s I'd be in as good health as I've ever been?
We had one adult daughter move back in due to Covid and added to the animal population here.
On the car-related front, my mechanic is trying to put me in a Mazdaspeed 3. I'm game for that. The problem is that he doesn't own it. A woman maybe in her 80s has it and hates it. He keeps on trying to convince her to sell it and get something she likes but she won't do it. Stay tuned. If I got it it'd be replacing the Miata. Since one of the issues from the transplant is developing skin cancers (3 so far) some of the convertible magic wears off. Stay tuned.
Were it to come through we'd have 3 Mazdas all in the same color - Soul Red. The Miata is green.

I’m having a colonoscopy tomorrow, so I’ve been on clear liquids all day today. To keep myself occupied I decided to try my hand at replacing the seeping VANOS Oil Line. Shop booked it at 1.5-2 hours of labor plus the part ($31). I knocked it out in 45 minutes which included wrestling with the air box for a few minutes.
Turns out someone had been in there before with this part because the lower connection had the crush washers installed incorrectly and it was a huge oily mess. Anyway, I cleaned it up, properly installed it and buttoned it back up. Test drive after and no leak at either end. Successful mission.

You were doing auto repairs between trips to the bathroom? You da’ man!

@28firefighter are you on the low volume prep or a high volume prep?
I had to pay some to get the lower quantity prep under my insurance plan instead of the gallon of stuff to drink in two sittings, but it was worth every dollar not gagging on the huge volume I had to drink every half hour if I recall the timing 3 years ago correctly.
Hoping they don't find anything to worry about during your procedure.

Thanks! Assembled and maintained over a series of years. You can really go over the top, way over what my set up is. lol! So true. You’d think dot matrix displays would be long gone by now. But, the UI on these current receivers for set up are worlds better than what was on my old receiver.
You made a smart choice letting the old Pioneer. Good luck with the Denon, that is a serious piece!!
As for the display, most of the deep menus are on the on screen display so the actual one on the receiver isn’t used all that much.

I wouldn't worry about any ill effects from SPLAT which was explained in a 2017 article published by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences:
"The process is akin to spraying a lot of a certain perfume in a large area with a lot of women, say a Justin Bieber concert. A man is stymied as he tries to find his girlfriend who wears that perfume. Everywhere he can smell the perfume, so he can’t possibly zero in on her. The romance is off, save for the slim chance he’ll run into her in the crowd on his way to the bathroom or to the parking lot."
Can’t wait to hear what @imidazol97 calls you after that accusation.😫

Ok, now You da’ man!
