Re: Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD Player

Although my BenQ 6100 projector is 1080i capable, I have to use a component to VGA cable for my Dish Network HD reciever. Does anyone know if the HD-XA2 upconverts thru component or thru HDMI only?

Thanks
Mike

I have a XA2 and have verified that it does not upconvert a normal (with CSS protection) commercial SD DVD when using component video. A few studios do not use CSS (Anchor Bay?).

However if you "backup" (for those you own) your DVDs, the backup process removes CSS. These backups will upconvert when using a component video connection.
