My current Yamaha receiver reverts to the last surround mode for each input, which I like.
Since I am constantly playing with my sub and center levels, it would be nice to have dedicated + and - buttons on the remote for each of those. (Currently, I have to scroll through menu's.)
Built-in network connectivity for streaming music from a computer, server, or iPod. (With on-screen display of music library, and full control from remote)
Connections for remote IR sensors. This facilitates AV closets and 2nd zones.
