The R-872 is extremely advanced. In keeping with the ease of use theme, the R-872 uses a Genesis Faroudja processor IC and can deinterlace and scale any of its video inputs, analog or digital, to 720p, 1080i or even 1080p and output them over HDMI. Should the user wish to have his video operate primarily in the analog domain, the R-872 will even convert digital video arriving over HDMI to component video. In either the digital or analog case, only a single monitor cable from the receiver to the display is sufficient for video and OSD.
