chainsdb Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 one question: if the receiver up converts, and the dvd player up converts - is it too many things with up conversion abilities?
Darthfunk Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 one question: if the receiver up converts, and the dvd player up converts - is it too many things with up conversion abilities? High mid range or high end receivers have video capabilities to upconvert but PQ will never beat a dedicated DVD player. You should set your receiver to pass through from the dvd player to receiver to tv. The up conversion and up scaling of some receivers will work well for composite, s-video and component sources like your digital set top. My Yamaha 2700 is using the ABT 1010 video chipset (pretty good IMHO) which i only using it to up convert my source from the digital set top, I let the Oppo 981 manage the DVD's and pass through the receiver (it does not use the receiver video scaling) to my lcd.
tsammyc Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Darthfunk, Can you experiment and send 480i from the Oppo to the receiver for it to upscale to 1080i and tell us what you see in PQ differences between that and the Oppo at 1080p. About to buy a 2700 and want to know how good the upscaling is...
Garydrums Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 one question, when you do a pass through, do you need a seperate cable for audio signals?

About to buy a 2700 and want to know how good the upscaling is... Both uses 2 different chipset plus i have ask the same question in AVS forum and someone mention the PQ of the ABT scaler is not as good as the Oppo 981 faroudja chipset. The colour richness is very obvious so the Oppo 981 wins hands down. I did alot of reserch during the last 2 months on the faroudja and ABT chip. I can tell that the ABT scaler on the 2700 is definitely better then the previous chipset on the 2600 when i hook it up to the digital set top.

About to buy a 2700 and want to know how good the upscaling is... AFAIK, the 981 can't output 480i via HDMI. Same as the 971 (via DVI). Only the 970 can output 480i digitally. btw thanks again to Darthfunk for organising the previous MO. I'm generally pleased with the improvement in PQ over the 971 in terms of color and detail, however I have to say the macro blocking is much more noticeable now. Hopefully some further display recallibration and finetuning of the player settings will help to reduce it.

Btw there is a betafirmware just release but i will wait for it to be offically ready before i update the firmware.
