I have a question regarding video processing with the 950 or any pre/pro for that matter. Let me preface by saying that I am relatively new to the Home Theater arena, and trying to learn before I buy.

Presuming that a TV has an adequate number of input connections with updated technology, why not simply connect the video of the DVD and satellite receiver/cable box to the TV? Thus, bypassing the pre/pros ability or lack thereof to process the video signal. After all isn't that the main function of the pre/pro, to process the signal prior to amplification?
