john is right that the Oppo Digital DVD player does output the player's menu information over the DVI output. The lack of OSD availability on the 990 is just an inconvenience that you just have to a work around by running an S-video (or composite) line to the display. Problem is that when the display switches to show the 990 OSD menu your video picture will disappear (and then return when the menu is cancelled). Perhaps Outlaw engineers can figure out how Oppo does this and if it's software driven, then maybe we can see this as a sweet firmware upgrade? -Don
