I have never heard of a Blu-ray player that will upscale DVD over component. It's not allowed. Also, there ARE a very few DVD players that will, but they are not exactly reputable brands, certainly not Pioneer.
Your salesperson is mistaken...I know this is so rare you won't believe it, but you'll see when you try it.
Edit: actually, I think ONE Oppo DVD player could do that, and that is a reputable brand.

I don't really know why, except the fear of pirating (?). There are some Chinese players that upscale over component-I have a Neuneo that does, but they are rare. The Oppo does not upscale over component.
