upconverting video sources with av receiver

I do not have a particular unit in mind but am trying to figure out the best way to keep from having to switch the video input on my tv and the audio input on my av receiver every time I switch between component and composite video sources. Now I an thinking of getting one of those harmony or logitech remotes that seem to take care of that. Do you think that is best?

Up converting AV receiver
by Jumper42 - 10/17/05 9:07 AM In reply to: upconverting by dirtsurfif your tv has an hdmi input a good receiver just came out by JVC that upconverts for you, the rx-d402($450) or rx-d702($800). it is one of the few receivers i have researched that do this and for under a grand. the main difference i see in the receivers is that the 702 provides 150 watts per channel while 402 is out 110. one last thing that i almost forgot, both receivers have 2 hdmi inputs and one output, so you could hook up two hi-def items.

if you have other people using it...especially someone that is scared even to use a computer mouse, then get a harmoney remote and hook it up however you want.
harmoneys are very easy to program, most keys are raised so you can feel it unlike the stupid sony's, and its very easy to use.
