<<The WT-46807 is a widescreen display that includes an improved line doubler for NTSC images and greater aspect-ratio flexibility for high-resolution sources. Combine this with Mitsubishi's continued use of an excellent comb filter and the TV's ability to accept high-definition images from an external tuner, and you have the makings of a great product.
Our recent Face Off (September '00) showed that Mitsubishi is keen to the public's need for features, and the WT-46807 accommodates that need accordingly. For starters, there are four audio and video inputs (three on back, one on front) that include composite and S-video connectors. Next, there are three (yes, three) additional component inputs. The first two accept both 480i and 480p scan rates. The third input accepts either component or five-wire RGB signals at 480i, 480p, and 1080i scan rates. Added to this are two RF antenna inputs, an RF loopthrough for your cable box, audio and composite video outputs, and additional audio outputs for the picture-in-picture source. That's more than enough options to integrate the set into any system.>>
The above from Home Theater mag. Input for HD is component, if this is your model.
WT-46809 is component as well

Hey bug, thanks! I thought that there may be a component input that would take care of the HD!!!!
I suspect that he was looking for either a HDMI or DVI input and there were none.
Keep up the good work.

That’s my TV!! Man you’re good!
So to add even more confusion to my already confused state, how do I run a DVD’s digital video signal to this TV’s component inputs? I thought you HAD to use the HDMI or DVI cables???

mdrew: no, it is not absolutely necessary to run HDMI or DVI to your TV to get HDTV. What you need to do first is get a reasonable set of component cables (no, I don't mean monster cables or the like).
Then, read the instruction manuals for your TV and DVD for proper operation. If you don't have the manuals, turn on the TV first. Make sure that it is on the correct input for the HDTV component input. Then go to the setup menu and see what the options are. After you have convinced yourself that you have reasonably correct settings, then, turn on the DVD. Do the same sort of thing with the DVD setup.
You may have to play with it to get the right settings.
In any case, I'd really try to use a set of manuals. Sometimes the setup is NOT intutitive!!

I've been using a Samsung over the air HD receiver via component since before DVI and HDMI were on the market. The picture on my Toshiba 32" HDready tv is dynamite.

My SXRD has digital inputs but I prefer the components hooked directly from the Integra 9.1 dvd player. I use OTA for HD and basic cable for the rest.

To get a DIGITAL signal to your TV, the options are HDMI or DVI (are there others?).
But you don't need a digital signal to get HDTV.
An HD signal can be sent thru component (analog). But I think it has to be a wide-bandwidth component input.

Mike, assuming that the description of the Oppo in the Secrets review is correct(I never before heard of a progressive scan player that didn't output the 480p through its analog component outputs), then its deinterlacer can only be used on the digital DVI output; since the component output is analog it simply doesn't use it. Of course, if the TV has a very good deinterlacer of its own, there's no reason to be concerned about the one in the Oppo or any other player.
