To clarify, does this receiver up convert? I have some old game systems that don't have HD ports that I would like to set up on my HDTV

Yes the receive will up-convert. Check this out for more information: http://www.laaudiofile.com/denon_avr590.html

Hello thanks for contacting me. Yes you can use the port through the HDMI connection to connect your old gaming system. Also to get any more answers you might have about Denon SVR-590 you can call 201.762.6665. Thank you.

No, not if you have it connected via an HDMI cable. If you want to upconvert your cable signal, you will have to connect it with component video cables. I did this initially, then changed my setup last night and connected my cable box via HDMI. I think I like it better with the component cables and having the standard channels upconverted. Mind you, the standard channels do not look nearly as nice as the HD channels, but I think they look a lot better than they do when they aren't being upconverted. Make sure you use something other than the standard RCA jacks for your sound if you use the component videa cables as well, like the digital optical jack if supported by your cable box.

Yes this converter allows the connection to older TVs that only have coaxial connections and newer HDMI receivers.

Mine didn't work at all. I bought it to hook together multiple legacy game systems to a TV with one component set of inputs.

This device would not work for your situation. This unit is HDMI from your source (gaming console) to AV (TV with no HDMI). You would need AV2HDMI. Look here Tmvel mini RCACVS 3 RCA Composite Video AV to HDMI Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-Ray DVD . Hope this helps.

This unit does NOT upconvert. You need either the 810 or 1000 model. Those are the two models that will upconvert analog to digital.

The newer STR-DH510 does not upconvert non-HDMI or non-HD signals, so I assume this one does not either. The STR-DH720 does upconvert to 1080i, and I assume more expensive models do as well. Hope it helps (you and others)

Not quite sure why you would need a 'converter box' unless the TV is an older analog set. I just hooked up the antenna to the back of my set & works fine.

this converts digital (optical) audio to analog as it says on the device. If your receiver takes RCA (analog) inputs it should work. I am using it on a TV with an optical out connected to an old pair of sony speakers with RCA inputs and it works fine.

The TV includes a standard HDMI cable. I think up conversion must be done by onboard electronics in the TV itself, not the cable. Certainly the HDMI cable carries a 4k signal.

Sorry, I'm not sure if that will work since I used mine with a PS2 and am not sure what capacities your TV has... It did work with my new HD TV and the old PS 2 technology. If your 720 has HD, I bet it will. If not, try the old version with cables that I found at Game Stop or a local gaming store.

The Gamecube only supports AV cables. So if your TV has AV ports, which it most likely does, then it should work but there is not a way to play games in HD.

So, "Analog to HDMI upconversion" basically means its going to take the old analog signal (or picture/audio quality) and convert it into a digital signal, (480i to 480p) which means that you will have a much better video/audio quality. Everything will look and sound better, basically. I hope this helps answer your question. Happy Holidays!!!

No.From looking at the STR-DG920 documentation (downloaded from the support section of www.sonystyle.com), the receiver upconverts everything to HDMI and also upconverts composite video sources to component, but HDMI sources are *not* downconverted to component or composite.(I've yet to see any A/V receivers that downconvert from HDMI to component.)

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.

No. This is designed to convert red/green/blue outputs to HDMI. If you have an older non-HD TV that you want to connect your bluray player to, you can use Portta 100HC Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-ray DVD1080P. If your TV is HD, but only has an available red/green/blue connector, you can convert your HDMI out from your bluray to r/g/b with Portta PETHRSP HDMI to 1080P Component Video (YPbPr) Scaler Converter Supporting R/L Audio Output.

Don't think you can relie on this type of converter to consistently convert HDMI to other interfaces. My experience was that it worked for a while and then didn't. Generally, HDMI is designed to prevent digital signals from being converted to analog signals. Think that the interface is always being updated to prevent such. My educated guess is that any device that is receiving software updates will eventually get a mod that defeats this device.
