I've read a bit about folks really struggling with the way video processing was employed on the Onkyo 905 platform (including the Integra 9.8 and Onkyo 885 processors). My hope is that there will be a per-input bypass option - so that the Reon can be used for those "just average" video sources (cable box, old DVD recorder, and whatever other odds and ends might be floating around such as older game consoles or VCR's) can benefit from a good scaler while those better HDMI-based sources (Blu-ray, well-scaled and deinterlaced DVD) can be set to pass through unaltered. Fingers are crossed...
