Yeah, I tried to do just that. Changed my DVD player output to interlaced and it did not help. Also, my cable box outputs both interlaced and progressive depending on the channel. I think the upconversion is passing the OSD since I see the OSD when I'm upconverting from my VCR's composite input.

It seems it only happens when the input is component, regardless of progressive or interlaced. Maybe the component switching is like the DVI switching and the signal is not modified in any way between the component in and the component out. If that's the case then the OSD is never superimposed on the output. Since the signal between s-video or composite in and component out the OSD has to be modified during the upconversion, that would give the 990 the chance to superimpose the OSD prior to output...


Thanks for the response,
