If you connect any of your A/V components (DVD player, satellite, PS3, Xbox360, etc) using COMPONENT CABLES (the red/green/blue), the receiver will only upconvert the video from that connection to 720p.

The Onkyo 805 on the other hand, will take ALL connections (Composite [yellow], S-Video, and Component) and upconvert those to 1080p, so long as the receiver is outputting all of those video signals through an HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV.

So, with any A/V unit connected to the 705 (including the PS3) with an HDMI cable, and the receiver connected to the TV with an HDMI cable, you will be getting a 1080p video output. Any other connection into the receiver will only be output to the TV at 720p.

I do not think this is true. I did not think the 805 WILL take other connections and upscale them to 1080P via HDMI to the TV. Thats only found in 875 or higher models. I could be wrong but thats what I thought I read.

Also if you run lets say the Xbox 360 to the 605 705 or 805 with component and run component to the TV you will get 1080P the ONLY time it will down grade the single if you run component to the Reciever and the HDMI to the TV.

Hope that makes since.
