I suppose stock on hand at BB and other on-line retailers will not have this new feature included as hey might have ben built months ago.<br><br>What would I look for on the box or how can I tell if the receiver now has Anchor Bay added to it?<br><br>Thanks]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 28th 2009 9:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pioneer adds Anchor Bay VRS scaling to VSX-23TXH, VSX-21TXH and VSX-1019AH-K receivers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[We've got a question in to Pioneer to see if this is a mid-production spec change, or if Anchor Bay has been in the units all along.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steven Kim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 29th 2009 12:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pioneer adds Anchor Bay VRS scaling to VSX-23TXH, VSX-21TXH and VSX-1019AH-K receivers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[I will be exceedingly annoyed if this was a mid-production spec bump and not something that's been there all along.

Under tab 1080P, it states "These receivers (VSX Series) are also equipped with industry-leading video processors from Marvell® and Faroudja® that allow for lower resolution analog video signals to be converted up to 1080p digital resolutions to best match the HDTV’s performance.". Here is the link: <a href="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/Enhanced+Content/Receivers" rel="nofollow">http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/Enhanced+Content/Receivers</a>. It seems Pioneer sending out conflicting information.

Marketing info on official Pioneer website should be based on the actual specifications of VSX-1019AH-K. I believe it had been 4 months since VSX-1019AH-K was available to consumer and Pioneer did not attempt to correct the error and made an announcement. For marketing stand point, it does not make any sense for Pioneer not to announce using better chip… Maybe there is other reason…]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tw88]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 30th 2009 9:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pioneer adds Anchor Bay VRS scaling to VSX-23TXH, VSX-21TXH and VSX-1019AH-K receivers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/pioneer-adds-anchor-bay-vrs-scaling-to-vsx-23txh-vsx-21txh-and/</guid><description><![CDATA[How can we confirm we actually have the mentioned chipset?
