Don't know about the wattage but, considering that it's for your parents, I believe they will not need a full power monster to deliver the goods they need! The advantages of these Pioneers ( as read on owners comments and AVSForum) is that they are easy to set-up and the calibrating mechanism is its biggest feature.

The previous model VSX-914 is about the same unit with less power and 6.1 instead of 7.1. It's cheaper than the 1014D.

Check out the link for price comparisons. You can find the 1014 around $400 and the 914 for about $340.

Regards,

Jose.
