Well I moved all my equipment back on the bench as I picked up the MX-114 and wanted to use that AR remote I bought. As luck would have it I couldn't get the remote to work for the life of me. I tried one last ditch attempt by hooking everything back up again and low and behold it works. Now I can control the volume on any source and turn everything on & off with one switch. Almost like what the real folks have The tuner section in the 114 sounds pretty good. It's supossed to be essentially the same as the MR-74 tuner. It's nice to have everything working again. I just wish we would get a good FM station around or I could at least pickup NPR.
