Hi St Pat guy,

I know you use an outboard amplifier but I'd still say go with the Denon--better reliability than Onkyo, which have had quality control issues on and off for some years.

As to the video processing in the AV receiver, your video display is still going to perform its own processing to its own specific native resolution and pixel array, no matter what the input signal, so I tend to think the HQV in the Onkyo is unnecessary.

Regards,

Alan
