Hi everyone...first time poster, but I'll try to make it (relatively) concise:
With the Nintendo Gamecube supporting Pro Logic II, the Sony Playstation 2 supporting DTS, and the Microsoft X-Box supporting Dolby Digital, I've decided to upgrade to a new receiver.
Since I'm on a limited budget, the Kenwood VR509 seems like the best deal. I already have the speakers from an RCA RT2250 home theatre, so provided an RCA bare wire plug can be accomplished I'm good to go.
My questions:
1. By supporting Component Video, does the VR509 support Progressive Scan? Or is there a specific extra feature that is needed for that?
Gamecube and Xbox both support this feature so it is a key upgrade path for myself.
2. If I were to plug my consoles in using Component Video, could I still route the receiver to the TV through S-Video? Or would that require a seperate solution?
3. The VR509 retails for about $485 CDN - by far the cheapest Pro Logic II setup I've encountered. Is there any appreciable difference between the 509 and 510 to warrant the extra 215 dollar cost?
4. In general, any thoughts on the 509 you may want to offer would be helpful.
Cheers,
Richard Knight
