Explosion in the circulation of money, future-proof (7.1 and 3D), the iPhone app store, buy an Airport Express also P. Colin McGraw tend to do much research before making big purchases, and as long as the receiver is receiving a very positive reception ! Its predecessor, 1019, where CNET and Gizmodo upper mid-range receiver. Both examiners had such high hopes for 1020, and Gizmodo, and called it the best receiver you can buy $ 550, which says that 1020 "spot on the sweet" as the best baseball game for the buyer. I read all the critics raved about audio quality, but 1020 gives no new offers on the table for a mid-range receiver. In summary, the most valuable features you get with this model is not achieved with the next step down are: 1. A fifth HDMI port on the back, another sixth in the front (for digital cameras, computers, etc..) 2. Analog video upscaling (which I do not care much about, because most of my HD content is played through an upscaling or all players) 3. IContolAV the iPhone app. Very cool to the volume and switching inputs to control. Works only by your receiver is connected to the Ethernet and the iPhone connected to the network via WiFi. A few problems with app really relax, but usually works well. 4th Internet radio with programmable station, which is cool, but you can not currently control the channel selection on the iPhone App, unfortunately. A fifth color configuration interface jack on your TV via the HDMI output. I can not imagine trying to set all my speakers, but a graphical representation of their location on the screen. The last feature feature HDMI 1.4 ports that support 3D, the 7.1 surround option, excellent sound quality and the iPhone App is what made the VSX-1020 is the obvious choice for me. I also enjoyed the automatic calibration with included microphone and the included iPod cable / compatibility, but they were not as strong points of sale of the note, the only drawbacks for me is that the front cover of a small harbor is a little cheap. It is not even a door, a simple piece of plastic that from when you push to one side. I, like others, also have the problem if experienced by the receiver TV switch / Sat at the first step, but I have to determine even whether there is a problem with the receiver or my Harmony universal remote (I the review as an update I get more information.) One last tip for buyers, though. If you plan to listen to music via Bluetooth from your mobile phone through the purchase of $ 99 AS-BT100 adapter, I think instead of buying a $ 99 Apple Airport Express (assuming that your music is managed by iTunes). It allows you to stream music from your computer to the receiver via WiFi and control what is played through iTunes or Apple robust iPhone application "Remote", but the most important of the Airport Express works as a USB print server port and a bridge wireless (which allows you to connect devices in a wireless network) Wireless Bridge This capability is particularly useful because you need it or anything like that for Internet radio and support if your iPhone iControlAV VSX-1020 is not near the wireless router (the I is not). Buy the Airport Express is to kill two birds with one stone. UPDATE: Some ideas were rejected by other posters Amazon to help alleviate the problem with the receiver to switch to TV / Sat when it first runs. The first idea is to change the receiver settings as follows: "1. Press RECEIVER then press the Home Menu 2 Select System` '., Then press ENTER 3 `Select Other Setup' then press Enter Select` 4 HDMI Setup '. then press ENTER. 5. Set control to 'Off' "The second idea is to adjust the TV settings as such." Go to the menu with HDMI-CEC and off. If the group is looking for a Samsung Anynet + (default is normally On) and off. "I still have problems go.
