Sony BDP-BX1 not upconverting DVDs?

[mrbrycel]

I just got the BDP-BX1 for my old rear projection 1080i TV, and blu-rays look great! I'm very excited to finally see HD on my TV.

I tried playing a DVD to see how it looked upconverted to 1080i. But even after setting the resolution to 1080i, when the DVD plays it keeps going back to 480p. What am I doing wrong?

Depends how you have it connected to your tv, if you have it connected via HDMI it will upscale the DVD, if you have it connected via component cables it won't.

Ohh ok thanks. I connected via component, I guess I'm out of luck cuz my tv doesn't have HDMI

When I look around and see the proliferation of electronics gadgets that sell in the millions, there are many in the same price category Blu-ray occupies. The iPhone now starts at $199, with a $299 model. The iPod Touch has models selling for $229, $299 and $399. The iPod Classic sells for $249. Can people really not afford Blu-ray, or have they been taught that optical disc players are a ridiculously cheap commodity by the absurd pricing of current DVD players? I can’t adequately convey the sea change in picture and sound quality one can expect from this relatively modest purchase. We have readers who spend more on exotic cables, power conditioners, and other silver bullets that will never do so much for their systems as one of these players and Blu-rays from Netflix if you don’t feel like buying. Not even close.

Set the Res to AUTO. That worked for me on my 350.
