Kenwood Receivers - 881??? or is it a VR-2090?

The local hifi shop here in Melbourne Australia has some nice new Kenwood receivers.... these appear to physically look like a VR-2090/2080, however they're not. They're model 771 (might be 7771) and 881.... the VR-2080 doesn't have S-video switching, however this 771 DOES, as does the 881. Also, the 771 is rated at 120w x 5, and the 881 is 130 x 5... The vr-2090 is only 100x5 though (to my knowledge)....

I can find nothing on the web referring to these two models, however they definitly exist. I was even reading the kenwood brochure in store with the complete spec sheet on both receivers.... Neither the VR-2090 or 2080 were listed in that brochure... the 771 and 881 were the two top receivers in it.

Anyone know anything more about this? Is this 771 model a local thing for australia? And if so, how come it has S-video switching, and a higher rated amp?
