Crackin,

I've seen that receiver and I agree it's a screaming deal, but I've heard it doesn't upconvert component cables - I would only get 720p for my 360 b/c I don't have the HDMI output. Is this true?

Thanks for your help,

Only the 875 upscale in 1080p the signal tought Component, Composite and SVHS with HDMI

But if you pass 720p from the Xbox in Component, you can pass it untouched to you're display in HDMI. I have a 3808ci... and if i enable Upconvertion to 1080p there's isn't much difference from when i let it to OFF and use 720p. IMHO you better be buying a HDMI platinum if you really want HDMI. The Xbox itself upscale anything in 1080p, but i doubt it's any better than you're display..

correct. If you input Component signal and try to output it over the HDMI connection it will be 720p max.

But if you just connect Component and Component out to the TV there is nothing to worry about.

Plus you don't have to "share" picture settings with the HDMI input.
