Denon 2900 or Oppo 971

I am looking for the best picture to use with a
Sony XBR Tube TV which has component input only.
The TV does not support progressive signal..
After reading, it would seem that the 2900 was
better than the later 2910 or new 2930CI in terms
of speed and usability with seemingly the same
picture quality when using the component outputs
in non-progressive signal mode. A concern I have
read about with the oppo the audio becoming out of
sync with the video..??

So which is better given my specific needs? The
Oppo or the Denon 2900??

The Oppo is generally considered very high quality when using a digital connection such as DVI or HDMI. You will not be using either of these, so the Oppo might not be your best choice.

If this is just for watching movies, not to use as the audio source for CD/SACD or DVD-A playback, I would just get a very inexpensive DVD player to get you by until you get a higher definition TV.

Enjoy,
