HDMI worse than component video

[GMichael]

THE PHRASE "Sony receiver" is probably your problem.
Its "video switching" is either whats called "repeater"(passthru) or it has a video processing chip. If a chip, you can set the resolution, and it might be set wrong.
Video switching is nice, but if its hurting the picture q of your HT, you need to go direct to the TV. Hard to believe that a composite is giving a better pic no matter what.
Could also be a bad cable, BLU player could be set to a lower res.
One more thing you're wrong about, if your receiver has video processing instead of
passthru everything can be output through one cable, like HDMI.
My stuff all goes through my receiver and out my HDMI, including an older DVDA
player thats hooked up via component. All receivers with video processing have this.
EVEN THO my one lung video proc on my receiver is set to "pass" it converts everything to HDMI.

Not lookin for food. Flat screen TV's have killed the supply of boxes big enough to take a nap in.
