The Pioneer Elite SC-09TX is the flagship model for Pioneer's Elite lineup of a/v receivers. Released in late 2007 the SC-09TX is a 10.2 surround receiver retailing for around $7000. It has Class D amplifier capable of deliver a continuous 140 Watts of power to each of its 10 audio channels or 200 watts to 7 audio channels . It features 6 x HDMI input and 2 outputs, and is capable of upscaling all video sources to 1080p (bypasses w/ HDMI input). One of its unique features is the inclusion of a small LCD display mounted directly on the front of the receiver (while very handy it's not usuable for previewing video w/ HDMI input). No HD tuner. Despite it few shortcoming it's has almost everything a A/V fanatic that wants an all in one package setup could ask for.
