The Onkyo HT-RC360 Home Theater Receiver has up-to-date features and an abundance of connectivity options. In addition to its audio and networking features, the HT-RC360 also has the ability to perform video switching, analog to HDMI video conversion, and provide additional video processing and upscaling up to 1080p and 4K. This step-by-step profile provides a look at the ability of the HT-RC360 to perform video processing tasks, including upscaling up to 1080p (4K testing not available for this review).
In order to test the video performance of the Onkyo HT-RC360 Home Theater Receiver, I used the standardized HQV DVD Benchmark Test Disc from Silicon Optix (IDT). The test has a series of test patterns and images that test how well a video processor in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, TV, or Home Theater Receiver can display a good quality image when face with a low resolution or poor quality source.
Screen shots were obtained using a Sony DSC-R1 Digital Still Camera. All photos were taken at at 10 megapixels and resized for posting.
1. Using an OPPO Digital DV-980H DVD Player, I set the output resolution to 480i, and connected the Composite (yellow) video output to the matching composite video input on the Onkyo HT-RC360.
2. The Onkyo HT-RC360's HDMI output was connected alternately to a Panasonic TC-P50GT30 Plasma TV (on review loan) and Westinghouse LVM-37w3 LCD Monitor, both with 1080p native resolution. I confirmed, on both TVs, that it was receiving a 1080p signal (converted and upscaled from 480i) from the HDMI output of the HT-RC360.
I also checked, via the DVD player's onscreen menu, that it was outputting a 480i signal to the Onkyo HT-RC360.
3. I inserted a Silicon Optix test disc in the DVD player and ran through a series of tests designed detect the deinterlacing and scaling ability of the Onkyo HT-RC360. Results using both TVs were identical, the screen shots used in this profile were taken using the Westinghouse TV.
