I kept reading, but lighting controls (to create what is called "scenes") is nothing new and only really needed for mansions, geeks, or bachelor make outs. And HT is a low priority for me (I have a 5.1 system with 50 inch Sony in another room) but it is way better than I care for. The 50 inch was bought when I needed eye surgery and the sound stuff was a completion of a former audio system (and the wires handing out of the wall for the rear channels that we ran when we built were driving me bozo's).
