Adrian, I tried the Oppo connected to the display using an entirely separate input.

Rick, I never thought of that, but yes I do believe there is a snowy picture when I have the AVR set to an input, but the player turned off.

The picture is quite bad when watching and upconverted DVD on my Oppo (or anything). I was watching Gladiator and Driven the other day, and when I pause it, the picture gets really bad; lots of noise/pixels.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
