Anyone heard about the Yamaha RX-V861? (1 Viewer)

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to know if anyone has looked into this receiver. I'm looking for reviews and haven't found any yet. Looks like a step above the 6090 because it apparently upscales 480i/p to 1080i/720p, similar to the Pioneer Vsx-82 and 84 (at least on the video processing side). This is rare for a receiver less than 1K. Please let me know if you've heard anything. Thanks!

Has anyone picked one of these up? I've only seen one review, which was pretty favorable. Thanks.

it's actually a very cool receiver. 1080p compatibility for HDMI, supports upconversion and scaling. Compatible with multichannel LPCM for Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. For a grand it looks good. Good Luck
