The processing capabilities in most TVs suck compared to a good video processor. The margins on most TVs are so thin these days and consumers aren't willing to pay more (in most cases) to get a TV/projector with a good processor.

Agree with Gonk. The Reon in my Onkyo 885 is going completely to waste because I don't want it mucking with my blu-ray picture, and it is global-or-nothing.
Which is a shame, because it did make a pretty worthwhile improvement in my Dish Network pic. Not worth the mucking with the blu-ray picture though.
The 9.9 may well have rectified this, Gonk, as it was a major peeve among the 9.8/885 crowd, and I assume Onkyo paid some attention to that demographic, since the unit sold far beyond their expectations.

Does anyone know whether it will be assignable in the 997? It think PeterT and Scott know. Wanna tell us?

gonk,
Thanks for clearing that up.
Here's hoping.
Still (off topic) I would like to read a good shootout between Audyssey and Trinnov.

[QB] According to the manual for the DHC-9.9, the control for upconversion remains unchanged.
However, it should be noted that HDMI sources should NOT be upconverted in any case based on what the manual says (only S-video, composite and component sources are upconvered). But a video processor like the Reon does more than merely deinterlace and scale. One of the concerns that I saw from 9.8, 885, and 905 owners (and that I found pretty reasonable) was that it was not possible to make use of the other Reon features (noise reduction, for example, or picture adjustments) with sources that needed them (cable boxes with really bad scaling and deinterlacing, VCR's, cheap DVD players, etc) without also applying those features to all inputs. That's where a video processing bypass option for each input would be valuable.

Nice...well, hopefully, the 997 offers more granular control. More flexibility is always a good thing.
