pioneer vsx-9040txh video scaler: I am wondering does the scaler not modify stuff via HDMI?

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

It does not upscale 480i / 240p --> 480p. This is only a SCART to Component video covnverter. Genesis, SNES, Saturn, PS1 and PC Engine all look amazing with this unit when coupled with the correct cables and a SDTV with component inputs.If you want an upscaler, look into a Framemeister XRGB or something along those lines

My understanding is that it will "pass through" a 4K signal on HDMI inputs 1-5, but it will NOT upscale a lower resolution signal to approximate a 4K signal. See pages 8 and 28 of the operating manual for more detail.

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

I tried hooking up my Panasonic DVD/VCR but it does not display correctly. I have no idea what cables to use, I just used the ones I had on my old Sony, but cannot get a clear picture.

no, this was made as an upscaler, ie. from a lower qulity connection to higher quality connection, so RCA to HDMI. you can try to find a downscaler.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.

I bought the HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b when I bought my upscaling DVD player and I connected it to my LG LCD HDTV. I keep getting a distorted picture. What am I doing wrong?

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

I think Larry is spot on. If you have another HDMI handy, swap that in there. if it still persists, return it for another converter box.

I do not have this particular Sabrent. The one I bought upscales s-video to HDMI and I might add it doesn't work very well.

I see no ghosting when using VGA or HDMI. The only motion blurring I see occurs with composite, and that is largely because the TV's post-processing is applied bit by bit to each successive frame (which is good for reducing input lag).

There are 2 HDMI inputs on the ViewHD, one for 1080i and the other for 1080p. If you haven't done this, try the other input as well. There is also an H1 & H2 switch that apparently has to be in the right position depending on which HDMI input you are feeding into. Just in case, be sure the VGA / Y/Pr/Pb switch is in the latter position. "DTV Input" has a strange connotation in that it suggests it is an input for digital signals. But you also refer to it as "Y/Pr/Pb" so this must mean it is an analog input, and therefore should work coming out of the analog Y/Pr/Pb output from the ViewTV. These are the best suggestions I can make not being there. There is also a trouble-shooting guide in the manual.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

Using HDMI Cables for recording inputs and the Progressive setting turned on, I have found improvements in video quality. Can't say for sure it works on everything. Can't get a Rembrant from a snapshot. But I am very pleased with the units I have.
