Guess I'll continue to tune in here to get some answers, all in an effort to avoid buying any more SD DVD titles. A HD player will be the cheapest place to start, then I'll a receiver with HDMI and afterwards a display.

1) I can use an HD player with the title on one of the new formats I choose with a component connection (not all allow that type of connection I believe). Perhaps these players have better video chips which may give slightly better resolution with what I'm getting with my current SD DVD player through component. If no better resolution until I get a new TV/display, so be it but as long as a can play it than no need to buy/rent the SD DVD.

2) I can use optical or coax connection (so long as the HD player has this) to get DD5.1 at least from these discs with my current Denon 3803AVR.

Hopfully I have at least this much straigt. Interesting that some of the HD titles are also coming with a SD DVD also.
