Do HT receivers process video inputs?

Posted by TGT on February 20, 2009 at 09:39:32:
One of my concerns before migrating to my HT system was the effect of passing the video output of my HD cable box and DVD player (actually Blu-ray) through my new receiver. In my old system, these sources were connected directly to my Sony XBR2 TV. As an audiophile, I believe direct connections are always best. Well my actual experience is quite positive. Not only do I see no degradation in HD picture quality, it may be a bit better.
So here is my question: is there any processing of the signal from my cable box and Blu-ray player by my Marantz SR4003 receiver before it routs it to my TV? All connections are HDMI.
