No problem, I wasn't meaning to sound snappy. I forgot that this was for a seperate system, that wasn't your main HT setup.

Honestly if component to your eye looks good, then go with that. As tom and I discussed in a few other threads the advantage of upscaling works great on paper, but in practical application you may not even notice the difference. If that's the situation, then opt for a good player with component output, the Denon 1910 is still going to give you superb video output over component, but don't think that you HAVE to use HDMI. Personally you'll get more mileage out of that connection if you're using a device that outputs a truely native 720p or 1080i source image, not one that's been upscaled.

Simply put, from using the Denon 5900 which is hands down one of the best dvd players in my opinion, and comparing it to the 2900 I use on my main setup, I'd say the upscaling is really only a 5-7 percent quality increase, and I'm really only giving it that big of a percentage because for the price it has to look better, right? lol, probably not.

So don't beat yourself up over having to use HDMI, or dvi for that matter. As I keep saying, dvds won't magically look like true HD signals, no matter how clever the components are.
