If you have an external scaler you are probably best to configure the SA8000 ( assuming new firmware ) for passthrough operation. For reference I'm assuming the iscanHD will provide better scaling than the sa8000.
- turn unit off
- hit guide + info to enter HD setup screens
- turn on all resolutions/formats supported by iscanDH
- turn SA8000 back on
- in the settings set video mode to pass-through
That way you don't have the SA8000 doing a scaling conversion of the input before putting it out over the component. Recent versions of the firmware will allow this configuration. You will notice a larger lag when change between channels of different resolutions.
