Pioneer VSX-819H

Pioneer is launching its own line of Hi-Fi amp, including the VSX-819H.

Key features:

• Three HDMI inputs
  
• Two component video inputs
  
• Three digital-audio inputs (two optical, one coaxial)
  
• Onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding
  
• Automatic speaker calibration
  
• Auto Level Control (keeps commercials from being louder than programs)
  
• Connect your iPod via USB and browse your songs with an onscreen interface
  
• Sirius-ready, with onscreen interface

The biggest missing feature is the lack of analog video upconversion—which is available on the step-up VSX-919AH ($400).
