I own the Yamaha 1065 and I really enjoy it for movies, easy to setup and the YPAO works fairly well, it is 2 years old though. I just went on the Yamaha web page and they basically have four separate lines with up to 12 models per line, so it can be confusing with out a budget.
Will your uncle need 4k pass through and 1.4? Some of the models have XM satellite radio and a front usb port for music.
