Yamaha RX-V663 and XBOX360 at 1080p?

[papaholmz]

I've searched the forums and can't find anything about this. If there is something I missed just point me to that thread.

Here is the setup I have....
- Sharp Aquos 46" 1080p LCD HDTV
- 60GB PS3
- XBOX360
- Yamaha RX-V663
- Polk Soundbar
- Polk Sub

I have the PS3 hooked to the RX-V663 via HDMI
I have the 360 hooked to the RX-V663 via component and optical
I then have an HDMI cable going to the LCD

For some reason I cannot get the XBOX360 to output 1080p, it only wants to go as high as 1080i; however, if I hook it directly to my LCD I can get it to output at 1080p. Is this a limitation of the RX-V663 when it upconverts from component to HDMI?

I believe the receiver is only capable of 1080i over component. (most are)

You may as well just connect directly to the TV and use an optical cable for audio to the Receiver.

Now that I think of it, it's not as big a deal as I originally thought. Since XBOX 360 games are 720p, DVDs are only 480p, and I don't have the HD-DUD add-on, then 1080i is better than anything I'm putting in there anyway. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.
