Hi Nicboul

I am very interested in this unit. Two questions: does this unit up-convert standard DVD's to 1080i / 720p over component? And, 2nd, how well does it do it?

I too have need to stay in the analoge world for now. I have an older Rotel pre-processor with no HDMI, big bucks to upgrade that, so being able to access the updated audio formats via 5.1 is very attactive to me. Also, I have a 1080i / 720p front projector with now HDMI cable running to it.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
