Silly questions

I have an old Panasonic DVD player that is 480i and it does have component
output.

If I hook this up to an EDTV will the TV upconvert the 480i to 480p?

If I hook the player up to a plasma HDTV what will the TV upconvert the 480i
to? ( the plasma set is 1024x768).

Many times the remotes for the TV give a list of vendor codes for DVD
players, etc. that might include several different numbers. Does that mean
that any of the codes will work for the particular player, or do I just go
through the vendor code list until I find one that works with my player?

TIA,

Wayne

The TV will upconvert to whateever it's native resolution is. However,
if you have a progressive scan DVD player, you have to set it to
"progressive" in order to output a 480P signal through the component
jacks to have a better picture.
If it's not a progressive player, then the TV will do the upconversion

Usually they give a list of code numbers for Panasonic. Try each one
until it works. You might be lucky and have just one number to try.

Thanx Mike.

I was afraid the codes were going to be trail and error. Two of the plasma
sets at the top of our list are Panasonics; so maybe they have all the
Panasonic codes already programmed into the TV remote.
