With Pass-Through you get the TV to adjust to 720p for certain channels and 1080i for other HD channels then one more time if you select a SD channel. It is annoying.

If your TV's native resolution is 1080i, you would be better off to select Upconvert1 for Picture Format. For those with 720p native resolution, Upcovert2 is th proper choice. In both cases, when a SD channel is selected, the 480p Picture Format will come on automatically (provided 480p was also selected in setup).
