John- As always, thanks for your quick responses. I am not sure I completely follow. Are you saying that the OPPO quality would have little impact since the signal is being sent via DVI and the Sony would do the conversion, OR are you saying that using component (for my 2200) and letting the DVD player do the conversion at first and sending to the TV would be just as good? Sorry if I'm making this more confusing than it needs to be.
