    Anyone heard about the Yamaha RX-V861?

    Has anyone picked one of these up? I've only seen one review, which was pretty favorable. Thanks.

    PS3 1.8 (upscaling is here)

    Hello Everyone, Forgive the retread if this has been answered elsewhere, but can someone give me a rundown of the "normal", "full", and "double" terms on the upscaling options menu (think I have the "off" nailed). Also, assuming I understand what has been posted so far, to upscale normal...

    Best Upscaling Option for the $

    Hello folks, I'm getting ready to upgrade my HT receiver AND my Display Device (to be a 1080p TV between 55-65 inches). My question concerns the best video upscaling quality for the money, and which component should do it (of course, I could ignore this option on the component that ends up...

    video upscaling

    From what I've read on this so far, it does depend on the upscaling chip. I know that the newer receivers are offering more options like you said, but it still seems that the higher end receivers have the higher end upscalers at a higher price. Onkyo's new line with HDMI 1.3 has video...

    Okay, I have speakers, now what??

    I guess these will really start to be coming down now. Fry's had the 6090 yesterday all priced at $627, and the display unit (all parts and with full warranty) for $487. Stephen, you've helped me before, so I wanted to know if you knew the upscaling specifics on the 705. Do you know if it...

    HDMI 1.3 Receivers?

    I'd like to know too between the 705 and 805, especially in the video processing area. Hard to tell from the press releases if either or both of these offer video upscaling. If either of them do I think Yamaha is in trouble.

    Anyone heard about the Yamaha RX-V861?

    Hi Everyone, Just wanted to know if anyone has looked into this receiver. I'm looking for reviews and haven't found any yet. Looks like a step above the 6090 because it apparently upscales 480i/p to 1080i/720p, similar to the Pioneer Vsx-82 and 84 (at least on the video processing side). This...

    Looking for Receivers that can pass/switch 1080P through HDMI?

    I know folks are talking about the Denons, which are great, but there are also several others less than $1500 that do this as well. Yamaha HTR-6090, the Onkyo TX-SR804 and 674, the Pioneer Elite VSX Series (80 through 84), Sony STR-DG1000, and even the JVC 702B (these aren't all of them I'm sure...

    B&W 700 or CM series

    That may an option. I'vd heard you need quite a bit of power to drive even the 803's and 804's, but I may just a wait a little while longer and do that.

    B&W 700 or CM series

    Finally got my B&W 600 series setup the way I wanted it, and or course I am now looking at next steps. I think I want to stay with B&W, but not ready for the 800 series yet (need alot more power and another receiver). I am looking at the 700 series and the CM series, and was wondering if anyone...

    Periodic humm in HT...Help?

    Hello Everyone, Tried this in the hardware section with no responses, so I thought maybe this is a "basic" question that better fits here. I have picked up some background humming in my HT. I have a Kenwood VR-6070 Receiver connected to a PS3 via optical into the "CD/DVD" jack and Direct TV HD...

    B&W LCR 60 S3's or 602 S3's for the fronts?

    Hello Everyone, Wanted to see if anyone has experimented with 3 LCR 60 S3's (L/C/R) in front compared to 602 S3's (L/R) with an LCR 60 S3 center. I am going to audition them myself, but wanted to see if anyone else has and what you thought. If it matters my L/R have to be placed about 5 inches...

    which is better.. and why..

    Stephen, CNET's review of the Pioneer 82 talked about some of the upconversion issues. Is this the issue that the newer receiver or firmware upgrade would address? Started thinking abouot the Onkyo 804 and Yamaha 6090, but now leaning toward the 82.

    Sony STR-DG1000

    I'm in the market for a new receiver and upscaling/upconverting is high on my priorities list. From what I've read and seen the upscaling/upconversion qualities do vary with receivers. Alot of the Sony's have received less than favorable assessments in this regard, but others have received much...

    Does component switching offer any advantage

    Ed, Doesn't the 84 have the Faroudja upscaling that would enable the image to be shown in 1080i (vs. 480p)? Thought I saw that particular receiver could do that. Gerard, Is your TV capable of showing 1080i? If so I believe there could be some benefit to running through your very nice...

    B&W LCR600 or LCR60 for the Center?

    Thanks for the information. I was very interested in what one reviewer was saying about needing really good equipment (receivers, amp, cables, etc.) to maximize its potential. I'm not yet ready to jump to adding a separate amp to my system, so would a pretty decent receiver be adequate? Some...

    B&W LCR600 or LCR60 for the Center?

    Hello, In about a 15'x19' room I have B&W 602 S3's in the front, 600 S3's in the back (L/C/R surrounds), and a Yamaha sub. I currently have an LCR60 as my center channel, but I have an opportunity to upgrade to the LCR600. In terms of matching, has anyone tried the LCR600 with 602's in the...

    B & W question

    I like the B&W's as well. I decided on the 600 series setup - pretty good at that price point, including the Nautilus tweeters. In terms of "are they good for the money", it's probably important for people to know exactly what speakers (models and series) they are and what they are going for...

    Onkyo TX-SR804 or Yamaha HTR-6090?

    Thanks for this information. So you're saying my "first stage" of upconversion to 1080i via component video cable to my existing 55" CRT Mits will not be noticeable because it's not digital? If that is the case that's very helpful to me especially in the short term. Seems like I should focus...

    Onkyo TX-SR804 or Yamaha HTR-6090?

    Thanks Stephen, and I saw your recent response to another member re: the 6090 and it's (relatively) subpar overall build quality and it may only upconvert to 480p (not 1080i as I'd like). Given that, seems like the 804 nudges ahead a little. Or is the 804 similarly limited (doesn't seem like it...

    Onkyo TX-SR804 or Yamaha HTR-6090?

    Do folks have an opinion about which receiver they prefer (and why)? To me the features look very similar and priced very close. I have a B&W 600 S3 speaker setup, Yamaha sub, and the sources are Direct TV HD (H20), VCR (480i via composite)/DVD player recorder (480p via component), and a PS3...
