The only tricky thing with it is that you need to select the output by pressing V.Output button on the remote. It looks like HDMI is not enabled by default...Digital Dude said:

it kinda looks "retro" to me, like the old VCRs.
I wonder when/if they'll make it a bit more slim, like some of the current DVD players.

Probably the second generation...Fgsilva said:it kinda looks "retro" to me, like the old VCRs.

From the manual: "Some HD DVD discs enable you to access special HD DVD sites. If an HD DVD site includes content, such as movie trailers, you can watch the content on the player via the Internet if your connection provides sufficient bandwidth."
Just tried component output.
First of all, it doesn't look like component output is enabled at the same time with HDMI: you have to select one of the output types explicitly.
Second, the player refuses to upconvert most of the DVDs over component output and displays a message: "High resolution output is prohibited for this content. Resolution was changed to 480p."
Bad news for those who don't have HDCP-compliant TVs.

I went out and bought mine also today. The first BB I went to was sold out but I was lucky that the second store had 3 left and they wouldn't sell me any of the HD Movies....
I resisted the temptation and will wait for the delivery from VE. No tax and I'll have some movies to watch. If Best Buy would have sold me movies today I probably would have snatched it up.

Ditto. I can wait an extra day or 2. No biggie. Plus I am supporting a fellow Northeasterner.
Are there DVD players that upconvert through the component? My Toshiba only upconverts throught the hdmi and I believe Sony is the same.Digital Dude said:
