That's going to be a fine system.

Well give your uncle thanks, he gave you a massive head start in this game forsure. Most of us started off much more modestly. For example my first try looked something like this...

Aiwa 5.1 channel bookshelf unit
Toshiba 27 inch TV
Sony Hi-Fi VCR

I'm not sure what the requirements were to be able to call your VCR 'Hi-Fi', but all I remember mine having was left and right RCA jacks. Now don't get me wrong, there are better HT systems to be had then the one you just bought. But only if you're willing to part ways with a substantial amount of money. I'm talking three or four times the money you just spent.

So you should be good for years and years to come my friend.

The Hi-Fi audio track was a secondary track which was interwoven with the helical, video track. It required a special pickup head to read it instead of the linear, mono audio track.

Why do I know this stuff?

This guy is amazing!

There are better here than I. This is really an amazing board with people very knowledgeable in every aspect of human existence. I just happen to have a head full of minutia about consumer electronics.

And you have found a place where it is appreciated. Ain't this place great?

Haha, that's funny. And yes your otherwise useless knowledge on such trivial matters (unless you get a shot on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionair') has finally found a place where you can be 'The Man'!!!

+1 Chris!

Don't forget to come back and ask questions about setup. Ask anything you aren't familiar with. The equipment is only the first step, even the best equipment can sound terrible without proper setup. I would say setup is at least 50% of the equation, but it doesn't really work like that because if you setup really really wrong like a friend of mine had, it can ruin it 100%.

Of course I'll come back. Hopefully, the auto setup device that comes with the Pioneer 9130 will do a good job and I will only have to adjust it marginally.
