    does the 606 upscale according to the user manual? I know many recievers of that age and price did upconversion but not up scaling.
    If it is supposed to then you are going to have to read up where to change the output settings.
    You might get a better picture at 720p too so try that.

    i dont see upscaling mentioned in the manual now that you say, i see upconversion mentioned, so what is upconversion, im showing my ignorance now. i cant see the add on ebay anymore but im sure it said it would upscale, other sellers on ebay say it will upscale.
    thanks for your help so far nereid.

    The Onkyo 606 will upscale component to 1080i - I agree with nereid, you should set the Onkyo to output 720p, this is likely to be better dealt with by a HD Ready screen.

    thanks ritz, thought id been riped off there. it might look a little better on 720p i cant be sure though one thing i do notice is the on screen volume display does change with the change in resolution. i am still a bit disappointed with this upscaling malarkey. maybe im expecting too much, or maybe i should have splashed out on full hd, but 799 for the 50" samsung was just too attractive.

    The upscaling isn't going to blow your mind anyway to be honest. Remember - garbage in, garbage out. And to be honest, the TV signals we're getting from most channels isn't much above the garbage quality.

    Really you need a HD source to get the best from your telly; upscaling won't produce a real HD picture. The "full HD" thing is a lot of crap and makes little or no difference to SD sources - could even makes it worse.

    You might find the PQ better if you let the TV do the scaling (i.e. set the Onkyo to out "original" signal resolution, probably 576i).

    I have a the same amp and when I input a 1080p it outputs a 1080p as it comes up on my Sony TV that it does.

    How do you find the Onkyo 606? I think it's a great amp if a little bit complicated to get the full whack from it.
