Yamaha RX-V373 without upscaler

[Glen12]

I'm interested in the Yamaha RX-V373 and note it is not an upscaler. My question is how important is this and is picture quality compromised in some way compared to a higher model that does include this? I'm assuming my components would not require 'upscaling' further by an AV Receiver? Picture/sound quality is my priority in choosing a new receiver.

My equipment is as follows:

Sony KDL 40EX503 LCD

Panasonic BDP-500 Bluray

Apple TV

XBOX360

Thanks,

What speakers have you got?

Your blu ray player will upscale DVDs far better than the upscaler in most AV receivers. So don't worry.

IMO yr right. Upscaling probs not needed.
