"Release Your Smartphone's Music with the AS-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter (sold separately)
For wireless connectivity, add a Pioneer AS-BT100 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) to release your music from your iPhone, Blackberry®, or Android® smartphone as well as other Bluetooth-enabled sources like laptops. And the VSX-1020-K's Advanced Sound Retriever AIR technology makes sure that even your compressed MP3s are brought back to near cd-quality sound.

The one downside on transmitting to Bluetooth headphones is the slight lag when watching videos. Although it is funny, after a minute you no longer notice it.

Actually, now that I think about it - if indeed you have to have your iPhone docked to use the App makes the whole app / feature pretty pointless. If I have to stand in front of it to control the cool features, I'd rather just use the remote or the front panel.

I'm no longer very impressed.

My guess is that it talks to the receiver via the dock. However, from what little data we have it is hard to say.

The 1019 was extremely impressive. I really wanted Internet radio options...and I'm guessing firmware updates will come via ethernet as well.
Don't care for BT as of yet, but everything else is excellent for this price.
I'm not audiophile, but I sensed an immediate difference from my 4yr old Yamaha.

This receiver and the VSX-1120-K (also up for pre-order at amazon) have ethernet inputs to allow this type of wireless app control like Sony's new Blu-ray players, future types of HDTVs, etc. coming down the pipe.

As a what the hay, I tried the Sony STR-DG920 as my first HDMI 1.3 switching receiver for $600 and it sounds great in my listening space. It's 30 Watts less per channel than I've had before at 100 Watts per channel but it still fills the room with quality sound. So, I had been paying a premium for more wattage I didn't need too. However, I do miss multi-zone (which these Pioneers and the new Sony STD-DN1010 will have), 12V remotes and power outlets in the back. For the money I'm saving each 2 to 3 years of upgrades, I've learned to live without them and life is good. Also, thankfully my speaker system has matched my receivers very well.]]>Mar 6th 2010 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/
One more thing, why they put USB in front, so every time I would connect iPhone , then the ugly cable would be visible in front of the receiver ? Why is that, I think the old system with input in back + dock is better solution. Could I still use dock + adapter port in the back with the same performances.]]>Mar 6th 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/Mar 6th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/
I am waiting for the Emotiva XMC-1 pre/pro, but if it is like the UMC-1, it may take forever and I may just have to give up and turn to buying another receiver as a pre/pro. The step up from the 1020, the 1120, adds a few bonus features that would be nice to have. PC Connection ability, RS-232, 6 HDMI and the Marvell video processor. Though, I wish companies would get together and create a standard for the ethernet connection, mainly create a protocol with an API. I am also that the point, that 6 HDMI just isn't enough, give me 7, 8 or more! I am interested to see what enhances they will be making to their Elite line, one of those may be more up my alley for pre/pro.]]>Mar 7th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/pioneer-vsx-1020-k-av-receiver-with-iphone-app-up-for-pre-order/
Clearly says it uses WiFi for the remote function.

Not available to download on the iTunes store although oddly there is a page for it if you search.]]>Mar 7th 2010 9:36AM
