Receivers Role In Video Processing? - Blu-ray Forum

Video Master · 07-02-2008, 05:55 PM

I've always used a receiver for music alone but some people have been arguing about using the receiver as a pass through to up convert video. Some include chips such as the Farjouda etc. I'm fairly new to this concept and I don't understand why you just don't use the original source conversion such as a dvd to your plasma. is it to just split out your HDMI cables?

What is the benefit of this, how do you hook this up, and what receivers have the best chips for this?

the benefit is for sources that do not already upconvert.... like a DVD player with only component... or to scale HD sources (720P satellite or cable) to 1080P

its hooked up (on the onkyos are the only ones im experienced with) just the standard way... all your components plug in, only one HDMI goes out to the TV.
