But if one doesn't need the extra capabilities of the A35, will the A3 do just as well in this area?

I am looking to upgrade my SD player to an HD-DVD, but will most frequently be playing my 28 years of SD Star Trek SD DVDs, so upscaling is one major reason for upgrading.

Thank you.
If you want the best SD upscaling, you need to get a Reon-based player such as the Toshiba HD-XA2 or Onkyo DV-HD805. The HD-A3/A30/A35 have good upscaling but the Reon is significantly better.
