This October, the mother of all multimedia receivers

We hope you like a lot of specs, because while the pictures of the Kenwood VRS-N81000 speak for themselves, the features this thing has got are frankly over the top.  The Ethernet-enabled receiver will stream any MPEG-1 or 2 and XviD video, MP3, WMA, WAV, and OggVorbis audio, and JPEG, BMP, GIF, and PNG stills from a networked PC running its bundled software, process, and then output them to your AV system.  It also has a PC card slot for importing images off memory cards (hackers, start your engines!) and an audio system called "Supreme", which replaces the high-end sound shaved off by many audio compression format. This sounds a little (a lot) shady, but we'll see.  It also features a load of Dolby certifications (Dolby Pro-Logic IIX, Dolby Virtual Speaker, DTS 96/24, Dolby Heaphone,
and Dolby Digital EX), a load of inputs (two D4, two S-Video, five RCA composite, three SPDIF optical digital audio,
two coaxial digital audio, six analog audio x 6) and outputs (one D4, one S-Video, two RCA composite), and it features
(you guessed it) an internal AM/FM tuner. Save your pennies, because this one'll set you pack a cool grand.
