The expo, although smaller than CES or CEDIA still provides a very nice venue for many manufactures to show off their latest and greatest products to the custom A/V installer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Check out all of the new and exciting products we saw in our Day 1 show report.</SPAN></P>

Our friends at Yamaha had a very nice well organized booth the expo and the soon to be shipping RX-V2700 was drawing quite a few on lookers. The sleek new receiver incorporates the new Anchor Bay ABT1010 reference series scaler that enables the receiver to upscale to 720p and 1080i. The new receiver also features an Ethernet connection allowing user’s access to Internet radio, digital music files and connectivity to the Yamaha MCX-2000 MusicCAST audio system server. The RX-V2700 is also iPod compatible with the use of the optional YDS-10 docking station. The RX-V2700 receiver retains the popular RX-V design from previous receivers.

Again, why is the receiver being treated as if it has not yet been released to the public?? Is there a new revision coming for this receiver?

It's been on sale since the middle of this year at least? At any rate I just bought one but I have to wonder why I have not seen a SINGLE review of this product. What gives?

Ray probably didn't realize its already released. I have a review sample now and its currently on my bench for testing. I should have a review on it around xmas time.

Glad to hear this! I've been somewhat worried about this purchase, to be honest with you, what with no reviews, and the fact that the Anchorbay chip was announced some months AFTER the release.

Looking forward to seeing your review!
