No in practice it absolutely does work that way. If one source is scaling to 1080p, there is nothing left to scale for the receiver. Basically the issue here is that you aren't accurately explaining what is happening. if what you are...

Audyssey setup > parameter check. But FYI there are no subwoofer graphs. And the graphs themselves are only a crude representation of what Audyssey is doing.

Yeah something isn't adding up here with his explanation. It's impossible for both devices to be doing upscaling. Once it's scaled it's scaled.

Remember that Audyssey tries to calibrate your sub to have a flat response. So if you select a mode that is non-flat because you prefer the sound, then calibrate with Audyssey, the MultEQ correction will expend resources trying to...

The video scaler in the Oppo is going to be superior for sure, but the question is how much will you notice? If you don't have a huge screen the differences may be subtle and/or only visible in test patterns. If your goal is...

Yes you may finally get your holy grail James... The HDMI to zone 2 addition is awesome, it was a nice feeling to hook the X4000 up and toss all the analog cables. Three HDMI cables and one optical, done and done.

You lose power, the E400 is a lower level model that is smaller and lighter and doesn't have the build quality of your 2809CI... but for a 2.1 setup in a bedroom that's basically irrelevant. You also lose MultEQ XT, as the E400 only has...

It's because of what was discussed above -- the microphone in your cell phone is not optimized to hear such low frequencies. Don't trust it for absolute measurement, only for relative balance with the other subwoofer.

No doubt. Times like this I really wish I had an open rack with a slide-out shelf or easy rear access. I've switched receivers so many times though I've got the system down. The biggest PITA is that the opening to the cabinet is just...
