I bought my father the Onkyo 885. I really like the sound quality, but there are a couple niggles. The first is that all inputs/outputs are either scaled our passed through. I would have preferred this to be input selectable.
Onkyo must have heard you. I have the 9.9 and each video input can be scaled individually and the global output can be left as "through" so that it will send through whatever the input is scaled to.
