I will be hooking these two together this weekend and wondered if I should let the Pioneer do the decoding or the Oppo? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    Usually you should have the player do the decoding... For some reason, a lot of receivers have issues decoding some movies and the fix is to have the players do the decoding....

    I would try it both ways and see which you like better. From some reviews I've seen, the Darbee on the Oppo doesn't work so well for Blu-ray but does for standard dvd discs. Pioneer is no slouch either when processing video.

    I can't speak on the Oppo but both the Pioneer units I had worked great decoding the signal from my PS3. Plus I like being able to see the format on the display.
