    Question Sudden loud static from surround system

    I decided to buy a new one. This unit is 17 years old and even though it looks terrific, it doesn't have today's technology (no HDMI connection for example). I bought a Yamaha TSX700 from Costco, it's a good deal right now ($329). What should I do with the old receiver? Can it be recycled?
