Yo-

Buy a Toshiba HD - A3 to do your upconverting instead of the Oppo - reason = Toshiba A3 does a great job of upconverting @ about $80 and the Oppo goes for about $230-

Yes - I know that the Toshiba is discontinued - but its benefits for upconverting standard DVD's alone - is worth far more than the selling price - especially if you have HDMI connection on your HDTV-eh!!
