In response to "Nevermind all that. Help me talk myself through my home A/V setup and decide on a receiver or new tv." by Max

As long as you confirm your receiver will upscale analog inputs to HDMI outputs, this is your best route (and what I do)

Use your receiver as the "hub" and treat the TV as a monitor

reverse: I need to downscale hdmi inputs to legacy outputs. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:19 5
- you just need one to downscale to only one format though, not multiple - tRuMaN Sep 2, 10:21
- there's no clean way. didn't you say new TV above? new tv. -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:20 2
  - the more I think about it the more the new tv sounds like better bang for buck (mwah) - Max Sep 2, 10:22 1
    - That being said, plan for the receiver. It is what I do and I find it a preferable method to running everything into the TV - oblique Sep 2, 10:24
- That is far more rare because of the whole copy protection schemes, etc. -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 10:20
