OK, I know this is a total newbie question, but I have to swallow my pride and ask it. I have a 1050, have had it for maybe 4 years.

I have no idea what the video connections are for. The manual tells how to hook them up, but it doesn't say why, why would I want to run video through my receiver? In my mind the receiver is for audio only, how does the video come into play?

It's a pretty interesting list, actually. Here's what comes to mind.

  • DVI video switching
  • component video switching, including cross-conversion from s-video and composite.
  • more sophisticated digital bass management (four independently adjustable crossovers in place of the 1050's one adjustable crossover)
  • bass management on 7.1 direct analog audio input (either an analog 80Hz crossover or the digital bass management)
  • additional processing modes (DTS:ES, DTS NEO:6, Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx)
  • more digital inputs
  • front AV input
  • Audio sync delay

There are probably a couple other differences that I haven't listed. Some may mean nothing to you, of course, but that's a decent start.
