Tips for Playing DVDs on Your New HDTV

This is a great solution I found to enjoy DVDs on my
new
SONY HDTV.
I'll try to inform here without being boring. Here's
the deal I will eventually purchase a HD / Blu-Ray
DVD player but I'm not paying a thousand dollars
while the two competing Hi-Def. formats battle it
out. I'm old enough to remember the
VHS
versus
BETAMAX
videotape battle in the early days of video. SONY
makes these really cool
DVD players
that connects via HDMI to my
SONY HDTV
but it
UPCONVERTS
the DVD so it takes advantage of the HD wide screen
capabilities of the TV. It's not the same as a HD DVD
but because it
UPCONVERTS
the signal it increases the lines of resolution so
the picture quality is very good. I bought a 5 disk
DVD model because I watch a lot of TV episodes on DVD
and it's convenient being able to load 5 DVDs into
the player. This works perfect for our needs while HD
DVD players come down in price, plus I understand
that you'll be able to buy HD DVD players that play
both HD DVD and Blu-Ray, that makes the most sense to
me so I'll wait for that but I love this slick
little
SONY Upconverting 5 Disk DVD
player.
