I think this year's models were all announced as sticking with HDMI 1.2, so it looks like you'll have to wait till next year.
I was just wondering when, looks like Yamaha is one of the last to get on the 1.3 boat.


Thanks Mongo.

I don't need or want it, was just curious why Yamaha was slower than other avr makers.

Thanks.

First signs of Yamaha's new flagship are popping up on the net. A greek audio/video magazine has an article (and pictures!) of Sony's Pearl successor (called VPL-VW60 or "Amethyst"). It also mentions the "Yamaha DSP-Z11" on the cover.


Let the gossip and speculation begin

I send an e-mail to Yamaha support yesterday asking if they were going to release any new receivers with HDMI 1.3 support. This is their response:



We are going to be releasing HDMI 1.3 receivers in October of this year, details on them will be released at that time.



Best Regards,

The Yamaha Customer Support Team

if they're coming out in october they'd have to announce details well before then. still, it's pretty damn curious that all of the other major players have announced their new lineups EXCEPT yamaha...

my thoughts exactly
Maybe Yamaha is waiting for the HDMI 1.4c specs to gel? Whatever
If the 1.3 connectors will not fall out as easily as my 1.1 connector does, I would call this an advancement!


Has anyone figured out why we need 1.3? All the neat stuff does not exist yet so please send me your old stinky 1.2 equipment

You know, I say this same thing to myself all the time, but that doesn't stop me from salivating over the upcoming Onkyo and Pioneer lines...and I don't even plan on buying a hi-def player for at least a couple years! If anything, my speakers should be next on the upgrade block, but there's just something alluring about shiny new electronics even if you would have no immediate use for them.
