And how often are you desperate to set up a tripod photo when it's raining hard enough to require an umbrella? It'll only cost $25 to find...

I plugged in my DVD player and cable box; there's room for three digital audio inputs and two stereo analog inputs, like a CD player or iPod. Then I connected the included microphone, placed it on a cardboard tripod on my couch, and selected the menu option called "Auto Setup".
