Best consumer avr for retro gaming? I Have a denon 987, does

No idea what an "AVR" is.

A surround sound unit? Pointless for anything retro.

Audio-Video Receiver
You can always use stereo expansion, some N64 games were even designed around that.

Audio video receiver. Old ones like mine can convert 480i av,svid,comp to 480p hdmi. Newer versions have the same video processor as a dvdo is can. It also does Dolby processing and can convert stereo audio into 5-7 channel surround. Also has a direct mode which bypasses all audio processing let ing you hear raw audio from your console, at reference level if wanted.

>No idea what an "AVR" is.

No idea why you posted then, thanks for the bump though

Still surround sound is pointless.

You may as well just go with a modern set up if you want it.

A soundbar would more than enough if your main use is retro games and you want something better than TV speakers.

>>3074252
It just occurred to me that I've never seen anyone type out A/V receiver as AVR...

The scaling is shit.

Fake surround sound is shit too.

In case you didn't notice this is my living room. I also listen to music and watch movies in here
>Still surround sound is pointless.
Get out.

>>3074262
You're taking what I said out of context. Surround said for retro games is pointless and if you think otherwise you're a fucking idiot.

You're dealing with mono and stereo at best.

>>3074259
I'm not using it for my main squeeze. I have a Crt station as well, I am just thinking of upgrading. I use direct when gaming and proper pcm, DTS when watching tv or playingnmodern games that support it.

>>3074272
Then you're asking the wrong board. Buy something that handles HDMI sound so it works with modern games.

>>3074287
It has 3 HDMI inputs. 1 out.
Which board? Mu didn't know shit about video processing.

>>3074296
/g/ I guess.

Either way it's not a Retro Games topic.

>>3074287
Xbone and PS4 still have S/PDIF out and for PCs without Dobly live you can often use a pass through.
I have an older non-HDMI Denon 1705 and so far newer models don't have enough incentives for me to buy them.

>>3074298
im asking about 240p processing to hookup classic systems as in my op. /vr/ related. I'll try g as well.

>>3074348
You'll need a standalone scaler for that.

>>3074354
i think so, tv does great with 480p so I might just get an old dvdo iscan+v2 and hook it up via component.

I think I could hook it up between the source and the avr, via svid in and component out, set analog to digital conversion and run it to the display

Just run all that shit into your mixing board and then out to your powered monitors.

Receiver, fucking pleb.

>>3075219
Unhuh, post yours.

Ordered an iscan+, any cvga to component cable will work right? Checked the user manual and it has the correct output.

>>3074234
you'd be surprised how many retro games utilize dolby pro logic

Your setup looks mega comfy. Still might want to invest in a CRT or at least an upscaler though.

The fan up top looks akward and the couch on the right looks like a pain in the ass for see the tv but for just hangin out and having some beers that looks comfy as fuck

>>3076297
This guy knows

I have >>3074990 upstairs. I just want to play some surround sound games downstairs without having to disconnect or move anything but the system I want to play or buy a framemei$ter.

>>3076457
It's not up all the time, It's tits for ddr. Couch is in a shitty spot but we don't get much company out in the country.
I think I got a basic setup nailed with this. No new cables needed, minimal fuckery needed to set up and play. Avr has component inputs and is already hooked up via hdmi to the tv. So I use my existing svid cables to the doubler, component into the avr, hdmi to the tv. Retaining the osd, front input and ease of operation of the current setup. If it is too laggy I can get a switch for the component input on the tv.
