Mar 6th 2010 4:46AM (Engadget)I use to be in the $1200-$1500 mid-range of Denon and Onkyo receivers until new models with about the same feature sets starting going North in price. As a what the hay, I tried the Sony STR-DG920 as my first HDMI 1.3 switching receiver for $600 and it sounds great in my listening space. It's 30 Watts less per channel than I've had before at 100 Watts per channel but it still fills the room with quality sound. So, I had been paying a premium for more wattage I didn't need too. However, I do miss multi-zone (which these Pioneers and the new Sony STD-DN1010 will have), 12V remotes and power outlets in the back. For the money I'm saving each 2 to 3 years of upgrades, I've learned to live without them and life is good. Also, thankfully my speaker system has matched my receivers very well.

Mar 5th 2010 6:50PM (Engadget)The iControlAVR app will operate over a Wi-Fi network, providing better control than IR and in some cases RF. This receiver and the VSX-1120-K (also up for pre-order at amazon) have ethernet inputs to allow this type of wireless app control like Sony's new Blu-ray players, future types of HDTVs, etc. coming down the pipe.

Feb 10th 2010 10:27AM (Engadget)From CES, we know about HDMI 1.4 cables and 3D HDTVs (even Vizio stated HDMI 1.3 specifically) but are left wanting for news about HDMI 1.4 Blu-ray 3D Players/Recorders (that actually say they have HDMI 1.4 [I know most should]) and AV Receivers (yes I know about Onkyo's announcement already).

Try several times for the update to kick instead of the player saying "already updated". Eventually, it started the update.
