Your post on rxv1500 caught my attention as i am looking at buying the rxv1400 which apparently is the precursor to the 1500. I tried to investigate what the 1500 is without success. Yamaha says they don;t have literature yet, and certainly no date for release.

I am not a real sophisticated HT buff but I don't want to buy somethng that is obsolete the day i buy it. I am a little computer savy so i do understand the benefit of the ability to download software upgrades and extended codes via a computer. THe rxv1400 does not have that capability,so maybe it is a good idea to delay my purchase decision? Your input would be helpful. Thanks.
