I ordered an Anthem Statement D2 Audio-Video Processor. It hasn't arrived at the dealer for me to pick up yet. Since I ordered it, I've been looking into Blu-ray disc players. The ones I've read about will upconvert the HDMI video output to the maximum of what the TV will display. Is upconvesion by a Blu-ray player a feature that can be set on or off?

I haven't gotten the D2 yet, and I don't have a Blu-ray player. I've been reading about Blu-ray players to pick one out. So--I haven't been able to see which would do a better job at upconversion. My feeling is that the D2 has more sophisticated circuitry/technology than current Blu-ray players. Does anyone have any experience with these issues? How does this affect the Blu-ray player that would be best for this kind of system?
