Hello right now I have 5.1 speakers by Sony (big kind like two towers, a center and two bookshelfs and a sub).

I have an Aiwa receiver from like 1999 but it only does dolby digital 5.1 so ideally what I'd like is something that can decode all audio formats, has an audio return channel and HDMI ports. 3D would be good if that's a thing 3D TVs need.

price range around 200

Excellent! That's the one I was eyeing.


Now second question, is there anything that's NOT in there that I will regret not having?


My first receiver only had DD5.1 so of course I missed out on DTS for the last decade.

Nope. The only major video change was going from HDMI 1.3 to HDMI 1.4 (3D/ARC) about 2 years ago and no change in HD audio processing for roughly the past 5 years.
