[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 46372, member: 517"] Do they claim it will actually improve the picture quality? Or just that it can upconvert and upscale analogue signals? I checked and it does say in the 807's manual that for best picture quality you should not upconvert and rather use like for like, so in your case RCA in to RCA out. Rather connect directly with the set, it should do a fine job. Besides, that way you don't need to switch on your reciever evey time you want to see what's on telly. You'll notice that the forum link windshear posted also discusses the disappointing video processing abilities of the 807. Just a side note, you mentioned that you tried adjusting gamma / brightness. I just wanted to point out that they actually are two quite different things, brightness adjusts the black level of your set whereas gamma modifies the curve at which dark ramps up to light. [/QUOTE]
