Good suggestion Gonk but I have the Oppo Pro Logic II "ON", thinking the same as you. I'll report back on what Cust. Service says but this may be a deal breaker for me. If I need to keep the 980H connected (that would handle all my SACD/DVD-Audio/CD requirements) then I can purchase a much cheaper Blu-ray only solution. Still early yet and maybe this is on the Oppo wish list. I have my doubts since 2.0 to 5.1/7.1 was undocumented on the 980H too.
