after years of a great sounding HT, i'm finally adding a HD projector...

Panasonic PT-L500U (native 720p projector) also displays 1080i and has a DVI-D (HDCP) input.

now, not sure about it all connects to get the best PQ...

i will order a Directv HD receiver that has HDMI connection, but own a DVD player with only component out.

I'd like to add an 'upconverting' DVD player, but the projector only has 1 DVI connection.

How do I 'hook' this projector up and get the max. picture quality? My guess is i need a HDMI to DVI cable, but how do i get the DVD player connected?

(p.s. I currently don't own any gear with HDMI or DVI outputs)
