A letter from the Swiss importer of Pioneer:

Guten Tag,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse an Pioneer Produkten!

Der neue VSA-AX 10 wird ab ca. Ende November 2002
in Europa erhältlich sein.

Die Neuerungen werden ua. die WBT-Anschlüsse für die Lautsprecher sein und
die bereits von Ihnen erwähnte IE-1394 Fire Wire Schittstelle, die
bestmögliche Tonwiedergabe bieten wird.

Das Europamaodell des VSA-AX10 wird keinen Tuner beinhalten.

Der passende DVD-Player wird der DV-757AI sein mit der Schnittstelle
IE-1394.

Gemäss den Informationen aus Belgien wird es keine Möglickeit eines Up-Dates
geben.


In short: a new VSA-AX10 comes end of Nov 02 and spots WBT LS connections and FireWire (IE1394), no tuner for the European models and the DV-757AI is the player to match (with Fire-Wire connection).
No update will be offered to owners of the current VSA-AX10.
 
;) Hi, I was at the AV-Expo in Heathrow during the weekend and Pioneer had an upgraded VSA-AX10 with the IEEE 1394 connection. According to the product manager, it is guaranteed that a hardware upgrade will be available to current owners of the VSA-AX10 around £400. The newer version is due out around December this year. No other major changes is anticipated apart from the IEEE 1394 connection.
 
GBP400 for a FireWire connection and no other changes!? :eek:

Nuts - given that there is not much use for it since it's limited to audio only.
DVI-HDMI seems the only way forward to me - forget FireWire!
