Edtyct I am curious where you got your information. I understand that upscaling is not through component outputs and is being used as a marketing feature for certain DVD players to enhance the calling to HDMI. My LG DVD player specifically states in the owner manual it does not upscale copy protected DVD's through HDMI and Sony admitted in an email reply to me that their ns975 will not. I understand that one of the main reasons manufacturers got behind HDMI was for copy protection. It would seem much easier to copy protection digital opposed to analog.

My intention is not to argue but merely to show why I say what I do and to see if you may have more material to refer me to. I read an article in an A/V web magazine that blasted HDMI. When I emailed HDMI LLC they of course stood behind HDMI and referred me to articles that talked favorable about it, so it is extremely difficult to get to the truth. I can't believe LG would intentionally not upscale copy protected DVD's if it was possible or permitted. Not doing so would give them a handicap in the market. The big feature on my LG is it can play any region code DVD from around the world.
