Hi folks. A seemingly simple question.
My Sony 570 upscales to "HD".
Likewise, my Onkyo 608 upscales (using Faroujda DCDi Cinema... better ?)
So, we have SD content coming out of the DVD player (now upscaled) going into the AVR and potentially being upscaled again.
Or does it ?
Upon questioning, Onkyo suggest that to avoid any digital artifacts, you should only upscale in one place. I can see the sense in this, but perhaps the more experienced (and technically aware) out there have some other evidence ?
Where is it best to upscale ?
DVD player (source)
AVR (closer to the output)
So, do these technologies compete or co-operate ?
How can I turn off upscaling on the DVD player to ensure that all the upscaling is done in the AVR ?
Now, to Blue Ray.
What does the AVR do when presented with HD content ? Ignore it ? Improve it ? Does the upscaling technology recognise that there is nothing to be done and pass it straight through to my (native 1080p) Projector ?
I wonder why this seemingly obvious question has not raised itself more. (if It has, I cannot seem to find it). Many thanks for your help - much appreciated !
