superedge88 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have a Denon 2308 receiver, and I am no exception to the many people that have problems reading the Denon manual and understanding the details of the set up options. I am confused about understanding whether or not it is upconverting my video signal from S-video to HDMI, and to what level it is upconverting it to, the on screen menu seems to have the information, but it is not explained very well on the on screen menu or the manual. If there is anyone here on the Klipsch website that is familiar with this reciever or one like it I would love to get some pointers on this receiver now that I have quality Klipsch fronts and center.

wuzzzer Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well, I guess if you have an S-video signal going into your receiver and an HDMI cable going to your TV and you can watch the S-video signal on your TV then it is upconverting the signal to HDMI. [] Also, I wouldn't be too worried about what level the S-video is being upconverted to as far as it affecting the picture quality. The phrase "silk purse from a sow's ear" comes to mind. I don't say that to be rude, but I highly doubt that anyone would be able to see much of a difference in picture quality of an S-video signal being upconverted to 480p or 1080p.

superedge88 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 I see what you mean about the S-video to HDMI. Any other fun things anyone has figured out on their Denon receiver that they wish they knew how to use from the start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superedge88 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 One problem I am having is that I love the fact that when using any upconversion through the receiver it will show on the TV my volume level. But if I just use HDMI or component where there is no upconversion taking place it will not show the volume level on the TV. I just like being able to see on the TV what my volume level is, because I can't see my receiver display from my couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't think there's a way to change that, my Onkyo is exactly the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You may be limited with the OSD when using HDMI, but try the settings outlined on page 31 of the manual. I dont think it will work but worth a shot. http://www.usa.denon.com/AVR-2308CI-OM-E_109.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
