video connections and yamaha htr-5490

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I'm pretty sure it will pass thru what ever resolution mode that you
input thru from either of the 2 inputs. Hook it up to see what it
does. I don't pass my video thru the 5490 so don't really know for
sure if it does a good job with this.

I just read in my manual that the 5490 will only output the same as
you input, composite to composite, S video to S video, component to
component.

If you have not heard Dolby 5.1 audio on HD channels thru the 5490 yet
you are gonna love it. Blind Boys of Alabama on PBS HD channel back in
December was the first thing I heard and recorded to my Dish 921 and
I'm still in awe of how good it sounds. Wow!
