Up-Converting with Component??? Can this up-convert to 1080i or 720p with Component or only through HDMI??? I do not have an HDMI connection on my TV, as it is older...

Brian, I did purchase this DVD player and it will not upscale through component, only through HDMI. I guess I have to live with 480p for now until I get a TV with HDMI inputs.

Can anyone with this DVD player answer Keith's question? I'm interested in buying it but only if it upscales with component cables and not just HDMI

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?

What you need is a component to hdmi converter. It has a power supply and actively converts the signal. This is analog cable for devices that put out analog over hdmi. For what it is worth, I had an old xbox 360 and it ran 1080p over component to HDTV. I assume you are out of component ports?

the Wii resolution is 480P and you cant change the resolution of the Wii only the tv aspect ratio. On the actual converter there is a little switch which you can change the resolution from 720p & 1080p. I basically plugged this converter in made sure the resolution setting was at 1080p, connected the hdmi cable to it and then to tv and that was it. It worked perfectly. Its may be possible that you recieved a faulty unit.

I'm not sure if this applies to this situation, but with the HDFury adapter, you can get 1080p. I think it only applies if you have an older TV or monitor that doesn't have HDMI, but it might be useful anyway.

To a greater extent, YES. The unit takes you from RCA jacks with 720 and up-converts you to 1080i. It's like going form VHS to DVD. The difference is also noticeable when playing wii games. Our grandchildren have the first wii and could tell the difference. WE have had it for 6 months and love it.

no, this was made as an upscaler, ie. from a lower qulity connection to higher quality connection, so RCA to HDMI. you can try to find a downscaler.

No, the upscaling only works on analog connections. It passes HDMI through as-is.

those converter boxes to get one that does 1080p with decent quality and without adding a bunch of input lag... you might as well get a new xboxwhy a TV manufacturer would put a VGA input on a 1080p TV and not support 1920x1080 through that VGA input i'll never know

I bought the HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b when I bought my upscaling DVD player and I connected it to my LG LCD HDTV. I keep getting a distorted picture. What am I doing wrong?

Yes. I have been watching both native 4K and 1080p upscaled to 4K and although I can tell the difference, I am still very impressed with the up conversion.

A late response but thought I'd chime in. The up-conversion can help with standard def satellite but little difference with HD channels. One of the best benefits of systems offering up-conversion besides better picture quality is that it will take the non-HDMI inputs and send them out the HDMI output. It is very awkward running audio from a device to the receiver and the video to the TV and having to switch inputs on the receiver and the TV.

Doesn't for me. I just purchased this device specifically to convert my apple tv hdmi output to the component in on an older Sony Bravia (supports resolutions up to 1080i). The video signal fails to convert to something the TV can understand - it's a scrambled mess. My apple TV is 3 years old. Any compatibility or version issues that might be a problem?

I did play with the functions, I don't have a 4K TV/Monitor, yes it can be upconverted to 4K.

I would think if anything the TV might be 720. I would really wonder if the component "in" on the TV is SD not HD. Do you still have the owners manual for the TV? If not check on-line for the manual to check.

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.
