Yamaha RX-V2600

The new RX-V2600 receiver from Yamaha has some insanely cool new features, including:

130W x 7
Full Analogue Video Upconversion to HDMI
Deinterlacing and Scaling up to 1080i/720p (uses Oplus de-interlacer for 480i to 480p)
XM-Ready
THX Select2
Dedicated Zone Remote Control
Fully Illuminated Main Zone Remote Control
Burr Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs for all channels
Assignable Amplifiers for bi-amp connection or Zones 2/3
TBC (time base correction) for Component and HDMI outputs
2 in/1 out HDMI interface
HDMI 1.1 (supports DVD-Audio/DTS/DD)
100MHz component video bandwidth
GUI on-screen display
3 coax/4 optical S/PDIF inputs
Needless to say, this is an amazing receiver for $1399 MSRP. If these specs are correct, the video processing alone makes it worth the price of admission and advances it beyond just about any other product currently on the market (we're not aware of anyone else who is upconverting 480i to 720p/1080i via HDMI - let alone in a $1400 receiver).
