The company is bringing that mobile tie-in down to Earth through a new quartet of in-car CD receivers. The <span>MEX-GS600BT, MEX-BT4100P, MEX-BT3100P</span> and <span>CDX-GS500R all bring in App Remote, which lets </span>the faceplate buttons steer local music or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pandora/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Pandora</a> streaming radio coming from Android, BlackBerry, iOS and Walkman devices paired through a Bluetooth wireless link. The old-fashioned USB connection is still on offer for these and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HDRadio/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">HD Radio</a>-toting <span>CDX-GT710HD</span>, while the whole collection can graft on the optional <span>SXV200V1 tuner to carry the full </span><a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SiriusXM/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Sirius XM</a><span> satellite radio lineup. </span>Differences across the line aren't completely clear from Sony's wording, although both the MEX-GS600BT and CDX-GS500R carry two USB ports as well as 5-volt RCA preamp outputs. You'll be waiting awhile to slip any of these receivers into a DIN slot, regardless of which one you pick: the GS500R ships in October for $199, and the rest hit the shops in November for between $149 to $249. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-app-remote-receivers/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Sony App Remote receivers</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-app-remote-receivers/5212058?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/mex-gs600btfrontbluelg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-app-remote-receivers/5212059?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/cdx-gt710hdfrontbluelg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-app-remote-receivers/5212060?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/mex-bt3100pfrontlg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-app-remote-receivers/5212061?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/mex-bt4100frontbluelg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p>

To kick things off, Onkyo's Remote 2 app is finally making music streaming capabilities friendly with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/17/onkyo-debuts-new-entry-level-receivers-htibs-for-2012/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">this year's TX-NR receivers</a>, while other under-the-hood enhancements were made to the various remote zone functions. In addition to these improvements, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/onkyo?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Onkyo</a> also introduced its $60 UBT-1 Bluetooth adapter, essentially offering the same tune streaming features but "through a hardware gateway" and, best of all, at a much higher quality. Unlike the USB dongle (which is available now), however, the free apps won't be available until sometime "at the end of the month" from Cupertino's App Store, Google Play and Amazon's custom shop. In the meantime, you can keep yourself occupied by checking out the official pressers and UBT-1 picture right after the break.</p>

Home AV equipment with the label promises to lift the standards for streaming media to or from one of HTC's devices. The rubber stamp will be limited at first to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/DLNA/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">DLNA</a> audio and video, but it should eventually include just about anything that doesn't involve a wire, such as Bluetooth, in-car media, NFC and wireless speakers. There isn't an immediate deluge of partners. HTC has scored a rather big ally, however: Pioneer's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/03/pioneer-elite-reciever-2012-vsx-42-vsx-60/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">DLNA-ready receivers</a> and wireless speakers this year, and beyond, will flaunt the HTC Connect badge. Don't brag about the media credentials of your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/htc-one-x-for-att-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">One X</a> just yet. Although the Connect seal of approval won't be needed for media streaming anytime soon, it will only be coming to the One series through an upgrade in the months ahead.</p>

WiFi and built-in Ethernet enable the 7.2-channel digital receiver to stream from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AirPlay/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">AirPlay</a>, along with Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) music services including Music Unlimited, Pandora, Slacker and vTuner. The device is also DLNA compatible, IP controllable and it can power on (from standby mode) whenever you begin to stream a song over AirPlay or Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR connections.</p><p> We dropped by Sony's NYC headquarters for a quick peek at the DN1030, which we're told very quietly made the rounds at CES but has yet make its official debut. The receiver, which boasts 145 watts per channel (not including those dual powered-sub connections), was paired with seven high-end Bowers &amp; Wilkins speakers and a powered Sony subwoofer. It's nearly impossible to pass complete judgement on any high-end audio product after a brief demo in a room that isn't optimized for sound, so audiophiles should certainly hear this thing for themselves before coming to any conclusions of their own. Still, we were quite pleased with performance from what we saw today -- Bluetooth and AirPlay connections appeared to be seamless, Slacker loaded quickly and audio quality was quite solid from all of the wireless sources, along with <em>Avatar</em> and a recorded <em>Cream</em> concert on Blu-ray. Best yet is the receiver's price -- the STR-DN1030 will set you back just $499 when it hits stores in mid-July. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Sony STR-DN1030 7.2-channel network home theater receiver with Airplay and Bluetooth hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/5094585?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/img3840-1339692611_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/5094583?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/img3830-1339692610_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/5094588?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/img3852-1339692612_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/5094584?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/img3833-1339692610_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/sony-str-dn1030-7-2-channel-network-home-theater-receiver-with-airplay-and-bluetooth-hands-on/5094589?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/img3855-1339692612_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p> <em>Edgar Alvarez contributed to this report.</em></p>

Similar to its V573 and V473 siblings, the RX-V773WA and RX-V673 are <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AirPlay/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">AirPlay-friendly</a> and pack a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/4K/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">4K</a> passthrough feature -- though, these also carry some PT action in 3D. Save for the YWA-10 WiFi adapter and an aluminum front panel on the V773WA, both newcomers are sporting identical traits. Among these are 7.2 channel audio, an enhanced YPAO calibration system, seven "intelligent" assignable amplifiers, six HDMI ports on each unit and an ECO mode to help reduce power usage. As far as pricing, you'll have to shell out $849.95 for the higher-end RX-V773WA and $649.95 for the RX-V673 when they hit shelves in June and later this month, respectively.</p>

Yamaha's RX-V573 and RX-V473 are two of the latest mid-range audio mixers to ship with AirPlay integration -- a feature lacking from the company's past offerings -- along with compatibility with the AV Controller app, available for iOS, Android and the Kindle Fire. There's also a nifty 4K video pass-through feature, which won't do you much good at present, but may go a long way to future-proofing both devices. There's not much differentiating the models, save for a $100 gap in price ($450 for the V473, $550 for the V573), and 7.1 channel audio in the pricier model (you'll find 5.1 channels in the bargain offering). Both flavors include front-panel USB ports (also with iOS compatibility), four HDMI inputs and digital audio inputs, and 115 watts per channel. You can pick up either model now, and there's a more detailed list of specifications awaiting your gander in the PR after the break.

Both part of the TX-NR family, the TX-NR717 ($999) and TX-NR818 ($1,119) are carrying on the 7.2-channel audio tradition seen on their lower-priced siblings, while a Qdeo processor handles all video upscaling duties -- yes, 4K included. The 3D-ready couple is also packing THX Select 2 Plus certification, a whopping eight HDMI ports on each box, DTS-HD Master Audio / Dolby TrueHD decoding and a revamped 1080p GUI. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/onkyo?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Onkyo's</a> also said iOS and Kindle Fire variants of its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/26/onkyo-remote-app-ushers-in-a-new-area-of-losing-android-phones-i/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Android Remote App</a> are in the works, though mum's the word on when they'll be up for grabs.

Starting with the lower-end models, the VSX-522 and VSX-822 are both packing 5.1 surround audio, while the main difference between the two is the lack of AirPlay and Bluetooth on the former. If you are, however, looking to go the premium route, you can snag the VSX-1022 or the top of the line <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pioneer/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Pioneer</a> VSX-1122 , which will get you 7.1 sound, DLNA, as well as 1080p upscaling.

There's a new king atop Sony's line of ES projectors: the VPL-VW1000ES. Presented at CEDIA this afternoon, it bypasses all the beamers Sony's delivered for home use so far -- including the recent <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/VPLHW30AES/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">VPL-HW30AES</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/VPLVW95ES/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">VPL-VW95ES</a> models -- by featuring a stunning <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/4K/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">4K</a> resolution, four times that of standard HD projectors based on an all new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SXRD/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">SXRD</a> panel. Scheduled to go on sale this December it also claims a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness that allows it to project on screens of sizes up to 200-inches. Whether or not you can scrape together the ducats for a 4K projector this Christmas, there are other options for home theater nuts in the form of two new receivers for the ES line that will also be available. The STR-DA5700ES and STR-DA3700ES will ship in November but more than their hardware specs, they feature a new onscreen UI that's supposed to be easier to use. The only device at the presentation with a pricetag was the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hmz-t1?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">HMZ-T1</a> 3D viewer <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/sony-hmz-t1-headset-hits-ifa-we-go-hands-on-video/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">we tried out at IFA last week</a>, which has been announced for the US in November with a price "around" $799. Expect more in person pics in a moment, meanwhile the press releases after the break have all the information currently available.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: Now with more pictures. During the presentation Sony showed a 4K clip from its upcoming <em>Spiderman</em> flick on a VPL-VW1000ES that looked every bit as beautiful as you might imagine. Also in the gallery is a shot of the new "activity based UI" for the receivers that looks at least something like the graphical upgrade the XMB has always needed. You'll also spy one more device, the funky new SA-NS500 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/sony-unveils-new-homeshare-network-speakers-iphone-docks-and-w/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Network Speaker</a>. It's a portable sound blaster with 6 hours of battery life and AirPlay compatibility for $399, shipping in November.<br />

If you long for the days of leisure suits and <em>Magnum PI </em>mustaches, or are just in the market for audio gear to match your <a href="http://bit.ly/aoV5vt">arcade</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/lgs-classic-tv-gives-old-crt-new-legs/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">TV</a>, then Yamaha's new R-S line of receivers might be just the ticket. The R-S700, R-S500, and R-S300 draw inspiration from the audio equipment of the <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/24/yamaha-gets-official-with-cd-s2000-sacd-player-a-s2000-amplifie/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">70s and 80's</a> and all feature minimal aluminum front panels with Andr&eacute; the Giant hand-sized knobs for adjustments. Their throwback looks hide modern day goodies like YBA-10 Bluetooth audio streaming, iPod dock connectivity and a dedicated subwoofer output. Power-wise, the R-S300 provides 50 watts per channel of clean power, while the R-S500 and R--S700 scale the wattage up to 75 and 100 watts per channel, respectively. If you like to keep your power and tuner separate, then the similarly styled A-S500 integrated amp and matching T-S500 tuner can also oblige. Slated to time warp to shelves later this October, pricing starts at $330 for the R-S300 and works its way up to $550 for the top tiered dual-zoned and dual remote-toting R-S700. With all the retro love going around though, just make sure your short shorts stay in the attic -- that history ain't quite ready to be repeated. For full details on the line, have a peek at the press release after the break.

Say hello to the high end of Onkyo's receiver line, now refreshed with the newest tech already featured in its <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/04/03/onkyos-first-3d-ready-receivers-are-slowly-trickling-into-retai/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">lower end</a> and <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/06/05/onkyo-has-three-new-thx-certified-av-receivers/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">midrange</a> receivers earlier this year. Beyond the eight 3D-capable <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/03/04/hdmi-1-4a-spec-released-in-full-lays-down-mandatory-3d-format-s/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">HDMI 1.4a</a> inputs, DLNA 1.5 (Windows 7 Compatible) and streaming support that we've come to expect from any 2010 home theater equipment, the TX-NR3008 and TX-NR5008 receivers include THX Certification, 9.2 channel audio, two HDMI outputs, <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/tag/hqv/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">HQV</a> Reon VX video processing and powered audio output for up to three different rooms. Still, the best information from the press release (after the break) is that the upgraded components haven't increased prices from <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/04/03/onkyos-first-3d-ready-receivers-are-slowly-trickling-into-retai/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">last year</a> -- the TX-NR3008 has an MSRP of $2,099 while the TX-NR5008 will add on upgraded transformers, capacitors and extra USB for $2,699 when both ship this August.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">In the market for AV gear that "Works with iPhone?" Looks like Pioneer's trusty old <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/07/pioneer-breaks-out-iphone-friendly-multi-zone-av-receivers/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">VSX-1019AH</a> (with its built-in iPod dock) just got a formidable ally in the form of the VSX-1020-K. This bad boy not only packs in the features you expect from an AV receiver (including connections for HD video, HD audio, wireless and analog components, 1080p video conversion and upscaling, support for 3D video and more) but the company throws in a free custom iPhone / iPod touch app for exploring your inner audiophile -- and getting your room to sound <em>just so</em> in the process. Up for pre-order now at Amazon for $549. Screenshots and further details after the break.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">Sony's already introduced <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/new-sony-bravia-3d-hdtvs-coming-this-summer-with-wifi-and-local/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">3D TVs</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/sonys-200-bdp-s470-is-companys-first-3d-ready-blu-ray-player/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">3D Blu-ray players</a>, and it's now finally followed those up with a 3D-capable receiver for those who need to pass through 3D video while internally decoding high res audio. That model, the STR-DN1010, is naturally a 7.1 A/V receiver, and boasts 110 watts of power per channel, along with four HDMI ports (including one with Audio Return Channel plus three component), support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, upscaling of any video source to 1080p, support for Sony's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/s-air?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">S-AIR</a> wireless system, and a Digital Media Port to accommodate iPod docks and other accessories, among other standard fare. Look for this one to land in June for $500, along with three other new non-3D models (the STR-DH810, STR-DH710 and STR-DH510) that will run you $400, $300 and $230.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="Pioneer VSX-23TXH receiver" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/20090928-pioneer_vsx-23txh.jpg" /></div>
Video scaling has been a longtime <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/pioneers-sc-07-receiver-gets-reviewed-with-an-approving-nod/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">knock</a> held against Pioneer's AV receivers, but Pioneer is addressing those concerns with the inclusion of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AnchorBay/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Anchor Bay</a> VRS processing in its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/pioneer-refreshes-lowers-prices-on-its-elite-receivers/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Elite</a> VSX-23TXH ($899) and VSX-21TXH ($699) models, and also the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/vsx-1019ah?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">VSX-1019AH-K</a> ($499). Of course, Pioneer's home market in Japan isn't getting the short shrift -- the VSA-LX52 and VSA-1019AH are getting the same treatment. These models will be getting an ABT1015 to ratchet input signals all the way up to the magical 1080p figure; hopefully an indication that Pioneer will take a page from Denon's playbook and include ABT scaling in all of its AVRs from here on out. Full details after the break.<strong><br />
<br />
UPDATE:</strong> We have sent questions to Pioneer about whether this is a mid-production spec bump, or ABT VRS has been in these models all along. We'll report back with any answers we get<strong>.<br />
<br />
UPDATE:</strong> We got official word back from Pioneer -- the VSX-1019, 21, 23, 25, and 27 models have all had Anchor Bay VRS scaling from the <em>initial</em> production, so there's no need to go throwing your AVR out.  We can't imagine why both Pioneer and Anchor Bay haven't touted this feature from day one, but if your eyes told you the new Pioneer receivers had great scaling, give yourself a point. <br />

Receivers keep growing more channels, but few people have developed an affinity for running more speakers and their tethers 'round the living room. Yamaha's doing its part with a series of products that integrate things together -- soundbars, HTIBs, and the like. On the lower end are the YHT-S350 and YHT-S400, pictured after the break. Both offer a receiver with an integrated subwoofer, through which your various devices can be connected and the output end of their HDMI cables tickled with bass. The two differ only in how they get their highs out, with the S350 including a pair of squat stereo speakers and the S400 offering a three-channel "air surround xtreme" soundbar. On the higher end is the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ysp-4000/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">updated</a> YSP-4100, above, a rather tall but only 9cm deep soundbar with the receiver integrated that can be mounted on the wall right beneath your giant HDTV and then paired with a selection of wireless transmitters for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipod?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">iPods</a> and the like. It includes a whopping 40 4cm speakers arrayed within, with a further two 11cm woofers, delivering what Yamaha calls 2.5.1 channel sound -- though it looks as if it can power two additional speakers at the sides if you want something a little closer to 7.1. The YHT-S350 and -S400 are due to hit Japan in time for a <span style="font-style: italic;">Halloween</span> marathon, while the YSP-4100 should release in time for the holiday specials on TV. No prices just yet.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/20090916-denon_avr4810ci_dbp-4010ci.jpg"  alt="Denon AVR-4810CI receiver and DBP-4010UDCI universal Blu-ray player" /></div>
Denon loyalists may have been stinging from the company's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/04/tough-economy-sidelines-dandm-holdings-planar-at-cedia-expo-2009/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">no-show</a> at last week's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/CEDIA/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">CEDIA</a> Expo, but the latest round of releases should help ease the pain. Here we go with the AVR-4810CI receiver, DBP-4010DCI universal disc player and ASD-51 iPod docks. The 9.3-channel AVR-4810CI ($2,999) looks to be the successor to Denon's popular 4308CI -- feature packed and definitely on the high end of the spectrum. Six HDMI 1.3a inputs, a pair of outputs, 140-Watts to nine channels, and the familiar set of features being rolled out across Denon's lineup: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AnchorBay/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Anchor Bay</a> video processing, Audyssey DSX and Dolby ProLogic IIz. Denon wants you to know it will pair up just fine with the DBP-4010UDCI universal disc spinner, which you should think of as a cheaper -- but at $1,999, not a "poor man's" -- DVD-A1UDCI. It'll play back just about every disc you've got (okay, maybe not <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pioneer-finally-kills-production-of-its-remaining-laserdisc-play/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">laserdisc</a>), and the build quality ensures it'll do so until after your physical media has turned to dust. Finally, Denon has also brought out the ASD-51W and ASD-51N iPod docks that also let you pull in internet radio, Napster and Rhapsody -- grab up the ASD-51W if you want to do that <em>sans</em> wires. As you'd expect from "CI" (custom integrator) designation on these bits of fun, everything is getting in on the network control and connectivity game, but we'll leave it for you to suss out those finer details after the break.<br />

We've talked about more than one surround sound setup in these parts, but for someone just building up their system it's always confusing to pick a direction. Luckily EHD reader Abul has come to the right place, we'll let him ask the question:<br />
<br />
<div align="center">"To complement the audio found on Blu-ray movies or HD downloads, is a 5.1 setup good enough or will 7.1 surround make a significant difference? Any suggestions on best low end or mid-range setup?"</div>
<br />
There's only about a million different HTIB systems or audio components to choose from, but for someone starting from scratch it's hard to know which item on the sales rack will be the best fit. Given what's available today, what would you start out with?

Yamaha has introduced a new top-end RX-V2065 model to its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/yamaha-updates-its-rx-v-receiver-lineup-across-five-models/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">RX-V65</a> receiver line.  Connecting the receiver to both the home network and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sherwoods-700w-r-904n-netboxx-av-receiver-dabbles-in-online-med/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">internet at-large</a> is coming on strong, and the RX-V2065 definitely got the memo.  Starting with the basics, the RX-V2065 is a 7x130-Watt receiver featuring Yamaha's ToP-ART amp design with a 5/2 HDMI in/out complement.  Yammy then adds its home-cooked assortment of DSP modes, packing 17 flavors of sonic manipulation into the new receiver.  Networking is where this model really sets itself apart from the similar RX-V1900 model, though, with the ability to pluck streams from Rhapsody, internet radio, DLNA, and files around your home network.  Heck, even <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/south-african-pigeon-transmits-data-faster-than-local-dsl/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">sneakernet</a> is supported courtesy a USB port up front.  To be sure, there's a lot more acronyms and add-on accessories for this unit that the custom installer crowd at CEDIA can use to round out their sales pitches (and to help bring up the margins on this $1,400 AVR), but we'll leave that for you to decipher by hitting the link.<br />

All right, traditionalists -- if Sherwood's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sherwoods-700w-r-904n-netboxx-av-receiver-dabbles-in-online-med/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">NetBoxx</a> AVR with all its internet streaming is too radical for you, the R-972 and R-774 might strike a chord with your "the receiver must have a volume knob" sensibilities. The 7x100-Watt R-972 has been awaited mostly for its 3D Trinnov Optimizer room equalization, which has made some pretty big promises -- we'll have to see how it fares when paired up with Silicon Optix REON video processing, three zone support, and compliment of 4xHDMI inputs, which seems like a negative in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/receiver?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">current crop</a> of $1,500 AVRs. Rather than just scale things down for the $850 R-774 model, Sherwood keeps the power at 7x100-Watts, but touts <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/anchorbay?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Anchor Bay</a> video processing, two zone support, and optional pairing with the BT-R7 Bluetooth receiver so you can send tunes wirelessly to your receiver.<br />

The magic elves always save their best for the company's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/es/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">ES</a> line, and while we're sure the STR-DA3500ES ($1,000) and STR-DA5500ES ($2,000) receivers are no exception, we're hard-pressed to find any big changes from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-unveils-2008-es-receiver-lineup/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">outgoing</a> 3400ES and 5400ES models. That said, the older models stressed connectivity, clean design and easy operation, and sticking to those values is sure to appeal to many users. The STR-DA3500 is a 7x100-Watt AVR with 4 HDMI ins (2 outs) that can serve up audio to three zones and HD video to two; you might want to take advantage of the Control4 compatibility to manage the signals hither and yon. The STR-DA5500ES steps things up with 7x120-Watt amplification, 6 HDMI ins / 2 outs, control via IP, DLNA support, internet streaming (Shoutcast and Rhapsody) and that nifty streaming <em>to</em> your network over CAT5e seen in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/sonys-str-da6400es-and-str-da5400es-receivers-do-hd-streaming-o/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">5400ES</a>. The 5500ES also gets a couple new bits of tech -- HD Digital Cinema Sound that recreates studio sound in your home (seems like an EQ mode) and Automatic Phase Matching which "corrects for phase differentiation" among speakers (sounds like a variation on the automatic phase and frequency room EQ theme). Interested? Go past the break for the full PR.<br />

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/harmankardon?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">namesake</a> brand at Harman International has introduced its new 2009 AVR lineup, making 3 out of the 4 AVRs on the company website shiny and new -- the AVR 1600, AVR 2600 and AVR 3600 (pictured, but trust us, they look almost identical).  All three models are armed with lossless Blu-ray audio codec support which are now -- thankfully -- <em>de rigeur</em>, but the real emphasis is on connectivity and features.  The living room is the new battleground, and even receivers have to fight for a place amongst the videogame consoles and set-top boxes.  Taking top billing, the AVR 3600 includes second zone support and a pcked-in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/harman-kardon-intros-the-bridge-ii-ipod-iphone-docking-station/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">The Bridge</a> III iPod/iPhone dock -- with a capital "T" and Roman numerals -- that can pull HD video right off the ubiquitous devices and put them up on the big screen.  H/K put out the first receiver with Dolby Volume, and the company is standing by the feature by putting it into the 2600 and 3600 models, which also get a graphical UI in keeping with the convenience theme.  Sorry, 1600 owners will have to make like everything's a foreign film and read the text.  Full details and pricing after the break.

Don't let your instinctual attraction to glossy items fool you. While the PJD2121 pico projector on the right is certainly the shiniest, it's ViewSonic's WPG-350 wireless gateway that we're digging the most. Assuming you've pre-installed the appropriate software onto the pertinent Windows / OS X machine, connect the bridge to a VGA display of some sort, and stream all the 1024 x 768 presentation content you want over 802.11b/g/n WiFi. Sure, it's not HD, but at $199, it's not the worst value, either, and it's still half-lustrous on the top. Looking back at the projector, the little DLP shiner boasts 800 x 600 output, 400 lumens, and a 1,800:1 contrast ratio. A $499 price tag definitely undercuts the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/samsung-p410m-pocket-projector-hands-on/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Samsung offering</a> we saw yesterday, but it's still way pricey for SVGA. <br />

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Marantz/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">Marantz</a> brand definitely has its fans, but positioning the marque against its sister brand Denon is a tough balancing act.  Many were hoping for the old Marantz flagship SR8002 receiver to get the updates (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/04/marantzs-sr6003-av-receiver-gets-reviewed-deemed-fantastic/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">cosmetic and otherwise</a>) handed out to the SRx003 models; but those folks will have to hope the 8-series skips generations, because the rest of the lineup has <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/marantz-preps-bd5004-bd7004-blu-ray-players-nr1501-amplifier-f/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">quite expectedly</a> been upped to SRx004 nomenclature.  Convenience features take center stage on the SR6004 ($1,250) and SR5004 ($850), headed up by support for Marantz's RX101 Bluetooth receiver that lets you beam music, sans wires, to the receiver.  These models also get Dolby Pro Logic IIz and the popular trio of Audyssey MultiEQ, Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ.  After that, it looks like Marantz is getting served <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/denon-outs-2009-line-of-blu-ray-players-av-receivers-and-headph/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Engadget">second</a> at the D&amp;M feature table -- 4-in/2-out HDMI ports, no Audyssey DSX, and no mention of Anchor Bay video processing.  Still, true fans might still find the Marantz sound that they love in these new models.
