Video Bandwidth Question

[algernon]

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the significance of video bandwith specs on AV receivers?
I'm researching what receiver I want to get, and have seen different specs.
For example,
Pioneer 40 MHz
Yamaha 60 Mhz
Denon 100 Mhz
I'm really leaning towards the Yamaha 1500 or 2500, but if this is an important factor, it may tip the scale towards the Denon.
TIA

Second time you've asked this question - second time I'll give you the same answer.

From before:

This is something I got back after a quick Google search:

"Well, 720p HDTV, the most bandwidth-intensive format broadcast today, requires 37MHz of video bandwidth. So, in theory, any A/V receiver with more bandwidth than that will not affect the video quality of the high-def source. While manufacturers' bandwidth numbers may not be completely accurate or take into account the whole system, in practice, a receiver with 40MHz of switching or conversion bandwidth should preserve all of the source's information."

So, the difference in video quality between the two receivers for the best HDTV material will be zilch.

Thanks for the help. Sorry, I didn't mean to annoy anyone by posting twice, but my first post on the beginner's forum disappeared.

I think Comp video bandwidth should be one of the last things you worry about. Pretty much any receiver can handle the bandwidth of HD and DVD, especially in this price range.
