I'm probably going to buy a JVC D-Theater unit. In addition to the usual DVD and sat TV capabilities, I'll want to accommodate DirecTV HDTV. I don't yet have a scaler, but I'm considering the new Focus Enhancements unit, if reviews are encouraging, or maybe Vigatec or NR or Rock. I believe that most of those scalers have a single hi def passthrough. I have an Electrohome 9500LC - yet to be activated - as my display device.
What are my options for hooking everything up? Can you simply feed the scaler's output to a JVC input and handle it like a regular VCR? Is there a way to feed the D-Theater output to a hi def input on the 9500LC? I would like to stay away from an additional switcher but have to be able to handle the two hi def signals.
Another consideration is that whatever I do, it will need to be controllable by a Crestron system.
