I am looking for a receiver that has HDMI upconversion for my HDMI HDTV. Someone told me about this:

This sounds like an incredible deal but I don't hear much about JVC receivers. Can anyone comment on this? What's missing that I'm not seeing? Thanks.

These are the two main discussions of these receivers, might want to check them out.

Seems like no new info on this one in almost a month. Has any one heard any more details on a release date?

I'm interested in the Wireless USB function of this receiver. Does anyone know if it will pass 5.1 (ala optical cable)? That would be pretty sweet.

The 402 is currently shipping...702 is still not out. I played with them at CEDIA Expo...nice feature set, but cheaply made.
