I have a 2001 Sony KV 34XBR2 which has no HDMI input. It accepts 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i, no 1080p. I must use component Y, PB, PR for DVD inputs. I’m planning to get a Blue Ray player but am not sure the players will output 1080i.They all output 1080p over HDMI but make no mention of outputting component 1080i! I assume they all do but I hate surprises and no, I have no intensions of replacing the KV 34BR2. I am considering getting a Sony BDP-BX2, the same as the Sony BDP-S360, form Costco. How can I be sure the Sony player will output 1080i component resulting in a Blue Ray picture almost as good as 1080p in HDMI ?………..Tom
