How should I connect a DVD player to benefit from the upconversion capabilities of my A/V/ receiver?

I have a Denon AVR-988 A/V receiver that has a Faroudja FLi2310 processor which takes care of the upconversion and/or upscaling.

I also have a Samsung DVD player that has an HDMI port and which upscales upto 1080p.

On the other hand, as far as I know, my TV also does upscaling and/or upconverting (whatever)

Considering the fame of Faroudja video processing and to benefit from such processing, what should I do to bypass my TV's and DVD player's upscaling and let the Denon do the job?

If I connect the DVD player via HDMI to the A/V receiver and then connect the A/V receiver to the TV, which will do the job? If you say that the A/V receiver is going to do the job, then how am I going to know it? Is there a way that I can understand it?

I hope such connection will suffice and I will not deal with the hassle of other type of cables. I am a newbie and really like the concept of HDMI--single cable transferring both video and audio. Cool.

Answer
Honestly, you probably won't notice much, if any difference in the upscaling from your dvd player and your Denon. You can run your dvd player through your receiver and toggle the "upscale/pass through" option in your denon to see if you can notice a difference. I have a Denon 3808ci and a PS3 and I have the Denon set to pass the signal through and let the PS3 handle all of the scaling. Give it a try and see which way you like it better.

What is the BEST DVD Player for Upscaling Std. DVDs for use with a DLP Projector?

What is going to Upscale standard DVDs to 720p or 1080i that will yield a clearly visible improvement when compared to standard definition when used with a DLP projector. Is there something available for about $1000.

Which, if any, of the new HD DVD Players do a good job at upscaling? Cite a Manufacturer and Model number if you have one.

Answer
You can get one for a lot less than $1,000...
