I noticed a lot of the new receivers have "4K upconversion"... does this have that?

I just bought mine for BB yesterday. It does say in the menu and in on the box that it has 4k "upscaling". Not sure how good it is becuase I only have 1080p lg tv.

You must have a very late model, higher-end receiver with HDMI 1.3a to decode these new audio formats. Otherwise, via the optical port, you will continue to get regular DD or DTS.

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 it's 1.4 The new 2.0 receivers pioneer is releasing starting now have 2.0 which is 60Hz 4K video which would be TV and video games. This model does 24Hz and 30Hz video for film content.

According to the information provided, the TV "upconverts" automatically. In any event, I like the picture quality very much. I have not watched much UHD material, but the ordinary picture is very good. No complaints. The overall quality in my experience is just fine, too.

I did play with the functions, I don't have a 4K TV/Monitor, yes it can be upconverted to 4K.

It does not upconvert images. I would route HDMI through the receiver, and component straight to the TV.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

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

This unit upscales 720P-1080P and is compatible with 4k but does upscale it.

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).

Yes. I have been watching both native 4K and 1080p upscaled to 4K and although I can tell the difference, I am still very impressed with the up conversion.

What do you mean by upconvert? Do you mean DVDs and such? No TV will do that. You have to have a DVD player with upconvert capabilities or an HD/BlueRay player. It also isn't going to upconvert your signal. In fact your signal may look worse if you don't have HDTV--especially if the set is large. Keep in mind that at the TV store, these TVs are all playing HD cable or satellite or HD-DVD or Blue-Ray DVDs. It's helpful in that you can compare apples to apples, but if you have lessor signal or equipment at home it won't look as good.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

Yes it does upscale all video signals processed through the receiver to 4k.
