My family has just recently purchased a sony 52 (KDL-52XBR4) Bravia that is capable of displaying full hd of 1080p. Prior to getting the set, we already had an Onkyo TX-SR674 receiver that can also output 1080p i believe but back then, our set was only capable of 1080i.
I want to be able to fully capitalize on the 1080p resolution my new set has to offer through my xbox360 and i need help in accomplishing this the best way. My xbox 360 has been sent in for repairs and should come back to me this Monday. Now, i dont know if it has HDMI slot but if it does then the problem would be solved and i would use HDMI and hook it up directly on the onkyo receiver. The problem starts when the new xbox 360 they sent me does not support HDMI. I am not particularly versed in this technology so if you can explain your reasonings i would greatly appreciate it. Without further ado, my questions are:
1. If i hook up my Xbox360 through the Onkyo receiver using the HD Component Cable, will my TV be able to recognize the 360 as 1080p compatible?
2. What is the VGA cable and is it worth buying for my new set?
3. Is component VGA better than component for the 360 and my new TV and how i assume i would need to change resolutions if i did use VGA so how would i do this and what resolution should i use?
Again these are just my concerns and thanks in advance for the reply. I am waiting anxiously for my Xbox to meet the newest member of our entertainment system.
