(converting 480p to 480p is not converting anything at all.)


Hello, The 805 has very similar video scaling as the 605 if not exactly the same. The 875 will convert any signal upto 1080P. Just thought i would mention this as it was the main reason I myself bought the 875 over the 805. As the 805 and its FAROUJIDA DCDi conversion chip will not do 1080P conversions although it will upscale 480i/p to 720P. Also downfall is if you are feeding the unit 1080i via RGB (component video) and output HDMI , it will be sent out at 720P. The 875 and its REON HQV chip will upscale any input/output video source upto 1080P. (EX. S-video,or RGB (in) to HDMI (out) is user selectable (AUTO,480I/P,720P,1080I/P) to match the TV. Auto will automatically select the highest resolution the TV can handle regardless of the input signal. The difference between the DCDi and the HQV is like night and day with the picture quality from SDTV to HDTV being noticeably better with the HQV chip. I first noticed it when I input my HDTV cable (Rogers HD8300 box) via RGB @1080i and let the Receiver scale it to 1080P with a much better quality of picture incl. far less mosquito type noise and the SD channels aren't true 1080P but the improvement is very relevant. I have also since turned off the scaling on my PS3 for regular DVDS which allows the HQV chip in the 875 to send it out @1080P with a better overall PQ then the PS3 did. I hope this information serves as useful to anyone interested in the Onkyo line of A/V receivers. Also I DID NOT write this to basically downtalk anyone but only so that interested buyers are more informed and dont buy an 805 expecting 1080P upscaling as the unit just cant do it. If anything I wrote is misunderstood or a reader would like to know more please feel free to ask as I own the 875 and I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with the unit. The sound quality alone VS. my old YAMAHA is like I am hearing a song again for the first time and it sounds very real and far more detailed and natural. Hope this has helped someone out there.


HEY BUD, SINCE U HAVE THE 875 CAN U HELP ME OUT SINCE NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO. U SEE I HAVE NO SOUND COMING OUT OF MY TV AT ALL. I HAVE THE ONKYO 875 CONNECTED TO A SONY 40XBR2 SILVER VIA HDMI. I HAVE A PS3 CONNECTED TO IT VIA HDMI AND U CAN HEAR IT FINE WHEN I HAVE THE PS3 ON BUT WHEN I SWITCH TO NORMAL TV I CANNOT GET SOUND. I HAVE THE MONITOR SET TO YES FOR HDMI OUTPUT AND CHOSE INT1 FOR THE PS3 OUTPUT AS WELL. STILL NO SOUND FROM THE REGULAR TV. JUST WITH PS3 ONLY AND RADIO. DO U KNOW WHY BY ANY CHANCE?

ALSO U SAID PREVIOUSLY U TURNED OFF THE DVD UPSCALER ON THE PS3 TO LET THE 875 DO THE SCALING FOR AND LET IT UPCONVERT TO 1080P, BUT DID U ALSO TURN OFF THE PS1/PS2 UPSCALER AS WELL? AND DID U TURN OF THE SMOOTH SELECTOR AS WELL? IF THAT IS TURNED OFF, WILL THE PS1/PS2 GAMES BE UPSCALED TO 1080P AS WELL? PLEASE HELP, THANKS
