Some models that were sent supposedly have the ability mine doesnt, if yours does it would be under settings >time where it allows you to change from digital to analog.

Yes will work with your Analog set today and will also work with your future LCD HDTV set. Dont know when you are planning to buy the HDTV in future. If it is 1 yr from now then i would suggest you buy a very simple 40-50$ DVD player for your analog right now. The reason i suggest is that in a year's time the HD DVD player would become quite cheaper (hoping) and you will be better off to purchase a HD Player for your HDTV and not a upconverting DVD player. Hope this helps!

If you have a digital converter box I would say yes. Their tech support is excellent. Give them a call.

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.

No you cannot use this to convert digital audio to analog audio. Line in, line out only.The six connections are the three component video, and three audio; digital and two RCA.

You know need a converter to turn analog signals to digital to watch TV in the US

Hi Gaius, no, you don't. Regular DVD Players can play converted DVD videos. -Vincent

No analog. Nobody makes it that easy to transfer your old tapes to digital. Digital in and out is via USB using Play Memories software.

Also check tv settings. Is it digital or analog audio? My tv has digital input that needed a converter. I used old minidisc recorder. There is also standalone converters for around $80 iirc.

I am sure you can use the Radio Shack A/ B switch to go from dvd player to tv or tv to dvd player, however my radio shack A/B switch did not work out of the box.

Component does support 720p (and even 1080i) but when part of an upconverting DVD player, all players are limited to 480p on component outs when playing standard DVD. The reason for this is the movie studios don't want you to be able to upconvert DVDs in the analog component domain as one can easily make high quality copies (bootlegs) with this method. When upconverted video is sent out the HDMI cable, it has content protection, called HDCP, to keep people from making high quality copies.Now you are getting the most out of your player, good for you.

Dear B. Cameron There are at least two reasons why you might want a DVD recorder with a built in tuner. 1. In my case, I don't have a TV with a digital (ATSC) tuner. I have a 2003 HD television with an analog (NTSC) tuner, and I receive my TV signal over-the-air via an outdoor antenna. When the digital transition occurred earlier this year, I had a limited number of choices if I wanted to keep my current TV and free OTA set-up: I could buy a converter box and have the digital signal converted to analog for my TV; I could buy an external digital tuner; or I could buy a DVD player with a built in digital tuner and get the best possible picture with a DVD player/recorder thrown in to boot. I chose the last option and bought the Toshiba DR560. My set-up has some drawbacks... like, if the DVD player breaks I get no TV signal while it's in the shop, and I can't record one program and watch another at the same time; but over all I'm happy with it because it is just what I need and no more. If you have a similar set-up and have questions of a more specific nature, I'd be glad to respond. 2. The QAM tuner should allow you to receive and record unscrambled digital cable channels directly, without renting a set-top box. Cable providers don't advertise this, and some may even insist that it isn't true; but they are required by the FCC to provide rebroadcasts of locally broadcast programs in analog, or in unencrypted HD digital format, so that customers are not forced to rent their digital-to-analog set top boxes. You will only receive unscrambled signals of locally broadcast programs in this way, and these may vary from locale to locale. I do not have any personal experience with this set-up, but if you are interested, there is a more in depth description at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAM_tuner. There may be other advantages to having a tuner included in the DVD recorder/player, but I wouldn't know `cause I'm not that well versed in the technology. Hope this was helpful.

PS3 will not offer digital output on the cheaper model. It will only have component cables, which are analog, and can add picture noise. For full quality 1080p digital signal you'll need a dedicated Blu-ray player. The PS2 is perhaps an instructive example. It could play DVDs, but the quality was poor, and it was a very buggy DVD player. many discs (Matrix) would not play correctly on the PS2.

This unit does NOT upconvert. You need either the 810 or 1000 model. Those are the two models that will upconvert analog to digital.
