Do HT receivers process video inputs?

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

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.
