Denon AVR-2807 AV Surround Receiver
Best audio/video
I have always been a surround sound home movie buff.  I recently upgraded from a high end Sony to the 2807.  The sound is incredible and the up-scaled video is great.  I have an up-scaling DVD player and a older standard 300 DVD changer.  I found that the Denon up-scaled image from my older non-Progressive DVD player was actually better.  It is true that the setup took a little time to get it the way I wanted and the remote is not very user friendly.  I would recommend a universal remote (I have the Pronto and the Logitech 880).  If you look why you would buy a receiver (the sound and video handling) this one is an incredible deal.
