Pros
- Reassignable audio inputs through latest firmware upgrade.
- For the firmware upgrade, allowing you to reassign the audio unputs, go to "http://www.yamaha.com/yec/customer/utilities.html?CTID=5010050" from the Yamaha.com website. You'll need to sign up as a user, but click on customer support, then search for "rx-v765" and you'll see the link for August 09 firmware upgrade. I found it easy to execute and take advantage of.
