Yamaha takes 24-hour lead in A/V receiver war | Crave : The gadget blog

Yamaha takes 24-hour lead in A/V receiver war | Crave : The gadget blog: "the RX-V861 is no slouch: in addition to the usual assortment of high-end audio goodies (

• auto speaker calibration,
• multizone operation,
• built-in XM satellite capability,
• 105 watts per channel), it's got
• two Simplay HD-certified 1080p-capable HDMI inputs, and--just as important--
• it can upscale analog video sources to HD resolutions.

What it's missing, of course, is a few of the keystone features we're expecting in the true 'next-gen' receivers due later this year: namely,

• HDMI 1.3 and
• built-in support for
  
• Dolby True HD,
  
• Dolby Digital Plus, and
  
• DTS HD Master Audio (the super-high-def soundtracks found on HD DVD and Blu-ray discs)."
