Yamaha RX-V861 & upscaling

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I'm awaiting delivery of my Yamaha RX-V861. I have a Panasonic DMR EH55 DVD Recorder with HDMI OUT. My TV does NOT have HDMI connections. Would I see a picture improvement (over regular component video conneciton quality) if I ran HDMI from the DVD Recorder to the RX-V861 Receiver and from the receiver connect to my TV with Component Video as my TV doe NOT have HDMI connections? The RX-V861 claims to do upscaling. Would this give me a slightly better picture quality than regular component video given the claim of UPSCALING?

Neither the 861 or any other currently available receiver will take in digital video via HDMI, transcode it to analog component video and output it to your TV. The "copyright police" (HDCP) don't allow it.
