Onkyo TX-NR708 HT Receiver - 480i/480p Deinterlacing and 1080p Scaling Tests

Screen shots were obtained using a Sony DSC-R1 Digital Still Camera. All photos were taken at at 10 megapixels and resized for posting.

1. Using an OPPO Digital DV-980H DVD Player, I set the output resolution to 480i, and connected the Composite (yellow) video output to the matching composite video input on the Onkyo TX-NR708.

2. The Onkyo TX-NR708's HDMI output was connected to a Westinghouse Digital LVM-37w3 1080p LCD Monitor. I confirmed, via the onscreen display of the Westinghouse, that it was receiving a 1080p signal (converted and upscaled from 480i) from the HDMI output of the TX-NR708. I also checked, via the DVD player's onscreen menu, that it was outputting a 480i signal to the Onkyo TX-NR708.

3. I inserted a Silicon Optix test disc in the DVD player and ran through a series of tests designed detect the deinterlacing and scaling ability of the Onkyo TX-NR708.
