The AVR 330 is pretty far down the H/K food chain. As with any product, you get what you pay for.

"Question: Does the 630 perform video up-conversion to component video?"
Can anyone address my question? Thanks.

No it doesn't. From the owners manual:
In reply to:
Video Connection Notes: • When the component video jacks are used, the onscreen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view them. • The AVR 630 will accept either standard composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. However, it will not convert composite or S signals to component video. • Component or composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats.

Too late for me to chime in?
Get the cheapest receiver that does DTS and has preouts for external amps. Done.

will- i think thats the simpliest, most concise answer i have ever seen on here..
its pretty easy when you think of it that way.. i am trying to decide if i wanna hit my wife up for a 5 channel x 150wt amp for christmas.. i figure it will be cheaper than the 42 inch plasma, or the new 600 sub..
lesser of three evils is always the best shot!!!

LOL, I did sound a little curt, eh? Not much time for this stuff anymore unfortunately.
I was looking at a 3 channel amp from ATI before I settled on the two channel Onk from 2x6. It seems like the amps in your receiver should be able to power SOMETHING, don't you think? I'm very pleased with the addition. Seems to have improved the HT's dynamic ability (could also be placebo effect) and has definitely given me a little peace of mind. Not cranking the volume knob anywhere near as high as I was.

I totally agree. I wanted to hear the 630, but the shop I went to didn't have it in stock.

Thanks NH. I missed that when I scanned the manual.
Well, that's a downer. Since I'm using a ceiling-mounted projector, I would prefer to have this option on my receiver. Oh well.....back to the Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer investigation.
