Can you help? Scaler vs new receiver

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My media room equipment is as follows

(1) Infocus SP8602 DLP overhead projector with Draper Cine-Perm 133" 16x9 Fixed Screen (gain is 1.0) in a dedicated home theatre room that is 22'x14' with a 7.2 sound system. The 2 Subwoofers are Paradigm Model PW-2200 v.2

(2) Pioneer Elite Audio Video Multi Channel receiver VSX-47TX.

(3) Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray player

(4) StarChoice satellite HD TV

(5) Playstation 2

(6) Media Room Computer - 3,328 MB Ram, AMD phenom(tm) 9750 Quad Core Processor, Video Card ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

What should I do to maximize the picture quality of my 4 inputs (Blu-Ray, PlayStation, Satellite TV, and computer) om my 133" screen?

Should I get a video scaler (eg DVDO Edge) or should I upgrade my receiver?

If I upgrade my receiver what make and model would you recommend?

Thanks for your input.

I wouldn't do either. First off, never buy a receiver for video... If it happens to have it, great. But your sources are all decent already and the Infocus is good internally too. Unless you have a sonic reason for changing this I would not bother.

The Edge or similar will help marginally (in my opinion). Overall...save your money.
