Ok, I suspected it wouldn't pass the DVD's 1080p signal as 1080p, but will it pass the signal as 1080i, or just not be able to process the signal at all?

As for the switcher, I'll check into that. I will just have two components to switch: the receiver (since all the rest of the components are lower res than 1080i and will be connected to the receiver) and the HD DVD player.

I have been trying to get some answers regarding the visible quality difference between 1080i and 1080p without hooking the receiver up. If I decide to sell it and go back to the SR875, I can still sell the NR1000 on ebay as new-in-the-box. Looks like I'm just going to have to hook it up and take a look at the difference between the picture from the DVD and the picture from the receiver and see if the difference is worth the fuss.

What I hate is that I paid three times for the projector what I would have paid for a 720p projector, and now I may be stuck with 720p/1080i picture anyway. Oh well. Live and learn. Maybe in a year the upconverters will drop in price.
