Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Assistance with DVD Player Purchase

It sounds like I will have to make the jump to an HDMI integrated receiver soon if I want to have BR/HD and games.

I actually bought the 970 and I plan on mimicking the set-up I have now. I will connect the 970 to my Denon using component video and then connect my Denon to the Samsung monitor via component as well. The Denon upscales and so does the Samsung. With this arrangement, when my cheap Sony DVD player is set on progressive, I have a picture that I am very, very satisfied with. I would imagine that the Oppo will be the same or better than the Sony (and last longer and be more responsive too).
