Thanks. That means I can run with the Oppo decoding DD/DTS and my G68 upsampling without compromising the video. Comparisons with the G68 decoding but not upsampling will be interesting.

Having discrete resolution codes for the Oppos would help. What would be really nice is if Oppo would allow one to set what the default output resolution is and what resolution to output for DVD-A/SACD playback.
Yes, this would be the best solution. I've asked this question of Oppo three times (including today), but each time I've simply been told "This functionality has not yet been implemented in any of our DVD player designs".
