The Oppo 970HD can output 480i over HDMI. This is your best connection
method to a video processor. Using component video means that the player
has to convert the digital data on the disc to analog, then the scaler
has to convert it back to digital. Keeping a straight-digital path
avoids unnecessary conversion artifacts.
