Does this receiver upconvert to 1080p with composite RCA? I've been looking at various receivers trying to find a good one for all of our devices.

That I don't know. I don't believe so. You can find the manual online if you google it. It should be in there. Let me say though that I have had and continue to have major problems with mine. I have to reset it constantly because I lose audio for some reason. Then I have to go through the setup process all over. Also have problems with the hdmi connections. Wouldn't recommend this receiver to anyone.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

I solved this. There is no upscaling of HDMI, thats they way it should be. I solved this for older SD DVDS that I play on my blue ray like this, I hooked up a second set of connections and when its old DVDs I switch the receiver to DVD instead of blueray and the upscaler makes them look very much better than just normal DVDs. When I say switch I mean just like you switch the receiver from one component to another its that simple. I am really liking my investment with this receiver.

I am looking to buy this receiver and wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?

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!

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

Could you please be more specific? What if I just go straight from the blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia with a HDMI cable? How does the receiver enter into the mix? I am not seeing any upscaling either.

Why are you upconverting to 1080p? This just uses more storage space. Upconverting to a higher pixel density will not improve the video quality. If anything, like all conversion processes, there will be some loss of quality.

I guess that depends of your receiver this only transform your rca or component wii connection to hdmi with usually to 1080 but this is not true, bit works for me, because my tv didn't have rca or component only hdmi

Depends on A/V from unit source TV Show/Movie/music, etc. The unit will send 1080P video if selected and up to 5.1 sound, again if selected. Unit has many, many options.

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.

This receiver won't cross-convert your HDMI input into the analog outputs; the receiver will only pass analog inputs to the analog outputs on the receiver, likewise with the HDMI input/output stage. Refer to p.100 of the manual for a graphic depicting the stages.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

I don't remember the specific receiver i use with it but I do know it has to be standard definition. This will not play hd.

Hello Steven; this receiver only supports 4k upscaling- not 4k Utlra HD passthrough. Please check soon for our new 2014 product lines for this feature.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott
