This is the second to the top of the line <a href="http://r3.productwiki.com/pioneer-vsx-1021-k/">VSX-1021-K</a> which also has 7.1 channels and Apple device support as well as a LAN port and Apple AirPlay streaming. A feature that this has that the 1021-K does not is Anchor Bay video processing which upconverts lower resolution video to one-wire HDMI 1080p. All of the new VSX line have 3D video capability and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding found in Blu-ray discs and 192kHz/24-Bit Digital Audio Conversion. Also common to the 2011 receivers is Pioneer's MCACC automatic calibration system which employs a microphone jack on the front panel, which when plugged in will calibrate sound playback according to echo reflections based on the location and size of your speakers and room conditions in respect to the listening position. Basically you set up the system and speakers the way you like it and have it adjust settings in an acoustically sound way in accordance with the room. Sound Retriever AIR technology is a system that will 'fill in the blanks' in audio that has been compressed such as MP3 and AAC for a more full and detailed rendering of those files, and you won't have to stay next to the remote at all times when the next track on the playlist is too loud since it will normalize audio levels for you. Bluetooth streaming is also possible with the optional Bluetooth adapter and the unit is Sirius satellite ready.</p> <h2>Features</h2> <ul> <li>Power: 110 watts x 7</li> <li>HDMI Inputs: 4</li> <li>HDMI Outputs: 1</li> <li>Composite AV Input: 5</li> <li>Composite AV Output: 1</li> <li>Component Video Input: 2</li> <li>Analog Audio Inputs: 2</li> <li>Analog Audio Outputs: 1</li> <li>Digital Inputs: 3</li> <li>Audio Conversion: 192 kHz, 24-Bit WAV</li> <li>Subwoofer output</li> <li>USB cable for iPad/iPhone/iPod included</li> <li>Sirius satellite ready</li> <li>AnchorBay upconversion to 1080p</li> <li>Front USB/AV inputs</li> </ul><div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:12:11 -0500 http://www.productwiki.com/pioneer-vsx-921-k/ http://www.productwiki.com/yamaha-rx-v1800/ <img src="http://images.productwiki.com/upload/images/yamaha_rx_v1800-100-100.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"/><p>The <b>Yamaha RX-V1800</b> is the entry model in Yamaha's RX-V high-end lineup.

It features network capability to offer both internet radio streaming, and playback of media stored on networked computers. It can also playback audio from a direct digital USB connection from an iPod. However, the HT-RC360 can only stream audio, not video. The receiver also has no THX certifications. Despite this, the receiver supports 3D video over HDMI, has a Marvell Qdeo Video Chip for video upscaling, supports lossless Dolby Digital DTS and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Unlike many other receivers, the HT-RC360 allows the user to fine-tune all of the receivers settings using a user-friendly GUI over HDMI, rather than having to finely adjust knobs. The upgraded version of this receiver, the HT-RC370, adds additional Audessey digital signal processing features, an additional HDMI port, and is THX Select2 certified. While the Onkyo HT-RT360 is clearly a high-end receiver, the audiophile who is looking for that last bit of sound quality edge may be more interested in the upgraded counterpart.</p> <h2>Features</h2> <ul> <li>100W per channel</li> <li>7.1 surround sound</li> <li>THD: 0.-8%</li> <li>Damping: 60</li> <li>Input Impedance: 200mV/47 k-ohms</li> <li>Output Impedance: 200mV/2.2 k-ohms</li> <li>Frequency Response: 5Hz-100kHz</li> <li>SNR: 106dB</li> <li>1080p upscaling</li> <li>6-HDMI inputs (5 back, 1 front)</li> <li>USB input</li> <li>Internet radio / network audio streaming</li> <li>PC input (VGA D-sub)</li> <li>Ethernet</li> <li>3D video over HDMI</li> </ul><div style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</div> Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:13:59 -0400 http://www.productwiki.com/onkyo-ht-rc360/ http://www.productwiki.com/pioneer-vsx-1020-k/ <img src="http://images.productwiki.com/upload/images/pioneer_vsx_1020_k-100-100.jpg" border=0 style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"/><p>The Pioneer VSX-1020-K is a 7.1-channel, iPhone-compatible A/V receiver released in Spring 2010.
