How do you use the up conversion, the manual sucks, and i was just wonderin if anyone knew how to get it workin

According to the manual, pg 15 in the center section says the unit will not upconvert any type of signal, including composite, s-video, or component. If the unit is supposed to upconvert, you would run your equipment that doesn't have component outputs to the receiver, then output the component jacks from the receiver to the tv - assuming it has component ins. Component R/G/B is your best signal transfer. You are right, that manual is terrible. I thought Denon was lousy.

thanks, yeah i tried to hook it up and when it didnt work i assumed it just didnt have the up conversion. it was some false info i read on one of the forums.

i have a question about the sub channel though.. i can set it as none, L+R LFE, or just LFE.

whats the difference between just LFE and L+R LFE..

LFE maybe seems like it cuts off lower, but i have no idea.. does l+r mean im getting bass from the left and right mains? or what...

*yeah i guess it means, LFE is only output when there is a designated digital signal being sent for that channel, and if there isnt, the L+R will send one.

Yeah, oddly enough HK's only "upconverting" receivers are their AVR 635 and AVR 7300; even their digital receivers don't upconvert. Regarding the LFE stuff -- if I'm not mistaken, that refers to your being able to select the option of running your sub with your mains. If you select "SUB LFE+L/R" you can run the sub when you're playing stereo. In that case, you can select the cross-over, i.e., all bass frequencies below a certain point will be sent to the sub. You really need to read the manual -- as bad as it may seem.
