It really comes down to what you want out of your viewing experience. I'm sure the Sony would be fine in a 2 or 3.1 set up, but you'd have to take all video direct to TV and forgo a bit of source switching convenience. A current receiver has many advantages, here's a few off the top:
* Lossless HD audio from Blu-ray
* 5 or 7.1 surround with direct channel panning, far superior to Pro Logic
* Streaming features, also can be had on other associated components if desired
* Auto speaker set up with room equalization, don't under estimate this benefit.
* variety of digital inputs, and other inputs
* dedicated sub out with the EQ applicable.
* single button to switch both video and audio simultaneously.
I'm sure there's a couple other benefits but if those mentioned aren't important enough to upgrade then enjoy the Sony and call it a day :). If you do upgrade I'm sure there's a place for the trusty Sony in a second system or a relative itching to be turned onto audio, garage or work space etc.
