Haven't posted here in a long while, but got drawn back like a lot of people after the introduction of the 990. A comment on a thread a couple of pages back about HDMI switching and upconversion of analog inputs to HDMI output...I was just reading in the latest Home Theater magazine and in their AV newswire section they mentioned that JVC is announcing receivers with HDMI inputs and outputs which will upconvert analog input to the HDMI output! I was kind of surprised and wondering if anyone heard about this. Also, I was not really thinking about uprgrading in the immediate future, but the 990 has got my id working overdrive.
