We study conditions for an anti-automorphism of a C*-algebra to extend to t
he cross-product by a compact group dual action. As a byproduct, we show th
at under a few natural assumptions any PCT transformation theta of U, the o
bservable net of a local QFT, extends to the canonical field net F. Then we
discuss the validity of the relation [theta rho theta(-1)] = [rho] for eve
ry DHR morphism rho of U with finite statistics.
