I remember a big discussion about upsampling on the Sherwood over on AVS. I believe they finally concluded that it upsampled all the time including surround modes on all the channels, sounds like the AVP7 may do this too. I wonder why the Outlaws went the other direction with this?

I also noticed the PCM DD preference thing last night while watching Zeps How the West Was Won DVD. It has all three soundtracks PCM/DD/DTS. I wasn�t paying close enough attention but I�m pretty sure it did what blaineh described. Wish I�d read this thread before as I would have checked a little closer. It�s not that big a deal for me.
