bo-cephus · 06-05-2007

Hello,
Loved the review. Wanted to know if you had a chance to review this receiver's predecessor, the HTR-6090. Looks like the 6090 is heavier, has more power and a few more switches, while the 861 has DTS Neo 6 and video upscaling. I wanted to get your opinion on the audio performance side.

Also, will the upscaling be done for all 480i/p inputs no matter what "in" connection you are using to the receiver (including HDMI), or is it only non-HDMI 480i/p inputs (S-video, component) that are upscaled to 1080i/720p?

Thanks so much for your time.
