In a word, yes! Unless you buy an external scaler/deinterlacer (dvdo is fairly reasonable but it might be cheaper to upgrade the player).
Take the advice of the other contributors and visit the various forums. Oh yeah, to make matters worse, progressive scan is nice, but the vast majority of players that do not have VGA out have a few "bugs" (chroma in particular) so one needs to know and observe. And do not be brand loyal, manufacturers can go from the top of the heap to the bottom from one model line to the next (and vice versa).

Have fun!
