John: I bought a "special" Superbit DVD of "The Fifth Element" which says "Superbit DVDs utilize a special high bit rate digital transfer process that optimizes video quality..........." I was thinking that a higher bit rate implied a higher resolution.

Bug: The Sony will upconvert the various formats to 1080P. I also bought a new OPPO DVD player which will upconvert. I have read the pros and cons of where to do the upconverting and have tried it a couple of ways. Haven't noticed much difference. One thing that I am convince of is that you DON'T want to do your upconverting/ scaling in your audio receiver!!!!!! Let the TV do it or the DVD player, but NOT your audio receiver. I am wondering why anyone would do it that way??
