Greetings – Here’s the dilemma for which I need options – I recently purchased a Toshiba DLP Set – 62MX196. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V2500 (One generation before HDMI integration). I want to upgrade my Older DVD player from a current 5 disc, Progressive Scan Panasonic – I can’t recall the model specifically - Maybe DVD-F85, I believe. This player doesn’t perform very well on the Toshiba, using component and optical connections via the Yamaha. I, like many others, have decided to wait to upgrade to the new format that wins the battle Blu-Ray or HD-DVD – I’m not willing to spend the $$ on a bet in that I’m old enough to have lived through the Beta / VHS wars AND the Laser Disc debacle. (Anybody looking for discs and players?) So, as an interim, I’m considering going the up-converting route but not spend the $$ on the 1st class Denon unit. So the questions – based on the above scenario and set-up what is the recommendation (Note: I can connect via HDMI to the TV and route audio, coax or optical, thu the Yamaha) in order to take the best possible advantage of a great TV? And, what is the difference between “Progressive Scan” and Up-Converting to 1080, etc. Thanks in advance!
