- PAL to NTSC conversion
- 720p upsampling, best PQ I can get for the money (I assume it would be using a Farudja chip)
- HDMI output preferred, DVI required
- Remote power on/off
- Not required, but I'd like full software control. The old Malata 996 had it where you could go to a menu even if the disc wanted to lock itself, for example.
I don't believe the Denon is hackable, nor is it capable of the NTSC/PAL conversion. What KSC2-303 is asking for is a pretty tall order, and I doubt you will find any reputable manufactures that offer such a device.
