excerpt:-

Similar to the new Kenwood receivers, the Denon will up-convert
any incoming video signal to component video for ease of playback

well just looked at Denon's site and it says up-converts composite to svideo and/or component, if so why doesn;t the AVCA1SE upgrade include this..

 

[Reiner]

Because the changes in HW would be extensive.

The AVC-A1SR does however have this feature, one of the small differences between AVC-A1SE + Upgrade and the new model.

As Reiner has said, Denon thought it would be too expensive to upgrade the Video section of the A1SE. We also missed out on Bass Management for the External Decoder Inputs & the Power Amp Assignent both of which the A1SR has.

Out of interest does the A11SR convert any video signals ?

Don´t think so, its just A1SR that does.

Earlier this year I had the choice of an upgraded SE or waiting six weeks for the new A1SR but because of the up-convert feature mentioned above I waited for the all new product.

I think the Kenwood systems convert downwards too.

No.
