Can this player do 1080i? Will this blu-ray player display in 1080i?

Yes...1080p simply means that this Blu-Ray player can output up to 1080p...all other HD resolutions (780p/1080i/1080p) can be output by this machine.

First, check the back of your Blu Ray component output. It should but it wouldn't be 1080p only 480i picture quality. HDMI cables to your Blu-Ray and HD Television that's the best way to go. I hope I help answer your question. Happy Holiday and New Year.

This TV does have 1080p over component as an input, but your player must also support this feature. The TVs response time is 8ms from what i've read. Blu-ray is absolutely amazing,and I love the HDMI-CEC features!

This blu-ray player has just 1 HDMI Input, and 1 HDMI output, I have uploaded some pictures of the backside of the player for you to look at. you may need a HDMI switcher...

The specs (http://www.usa.philips.com/c/televisions/26-inch-class-po-26pfl4507_f7/prd/en/;jsessionid=106793352FDEE80862A19E5FE46D31C6.app121-drp2?t=specifications) say it supports both 1080P and 1080I.

This system will upconvert to 1080i, but only when using HDMI. It isn't a very good upscale, however, and seems quite blocky for picture quality. This came as a bit of a shock as the PS3 upconverts and upscales so well for DVD's that they almost appear to be in high def. Don't get this system for it's DVD playback capabilities!

no one lying to you that model is 720p i have it also but... it might have a 1080i for blue-rays and other higher broadcast modes.

Yes it will. Blu-Ray players will play standard dvd and usually upconvert them even, though standard non blu-ray players upconvert ones or not WILL NOT play Blu-Ray discs.

I don't think it will. This is a HDMI 1.4 upscaling bluray player. It is highly unlikely that this player will be able to play native 4K video encoded in H.265 or whatever they come out with. This is being advertised as an upscaling player. Think of it as an upscaling DVD player that existed before Bluray players were common. Now this is an upscaling 4K player before 4K players are common!

Yes, there are component outputs and the resolution can be set to match the TV you connect it to. As a blu-ray player it has HDMI and full 1080p, but even the HDMI connection as well as the component connection resolution can be set to 720p. Standard DVD play can be upgraded to 720p. This is a very capable player with outstanding abilities and functionality. I personally have played American and Chinese DVD and Blu-ray discs.

Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

True. Set it once in the set-up menu, then set it again while watching a DVD in the "Display" menu. Very few Blu-ray players support 24P for DVDs.

Yes. Set the player to output at 1080i. As you stated, your tv will dowconvert the signal to its native resolution of 720p.This is the setup I use and it works perfectly.

My player doesn't upscale very well at all. And, I am hooked up using HDMI. No way does Blu-ray Disc compare to HD DVD. I used to have an HD-XA2 and an HD A35 and those players were amazing at upscaling. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between high-def and standard def.

The unit does not have Pandora nor is it mentioned in the manual as an optional app. You might want to check on Pandora's web site and they should have a way to find compatible Blu-Ray players from all supported manufacturers. My gut response is to say "no" it does not.

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

No. Essentially what it does, is upscale. Most hdtvs don't do the best job in the world at upscaling low resolutions like 480i/p. Blu-ray players have internal processing to help clean up the picture. So this will deffinately make your movies look better, but don't expect hd quality. One more thing, HDMI and DVI ONLY! You can't upscale DVDS on COMPONENT. Now SOME will let you with vga. If you can find a good upscaling dvd player for 40 or less dollars, I'd HIGHLY recoomend it. Any more? Just get a great blu-ray player like this.
