As well as upscaling any input to 1080i to the component output it will also upscale any input to 1080p and output it via HDMI.
While it does not have HDMI 1.3 it will accept 8 channel PCM via HDMI so if you have a decoder for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD in you HD DVD or BD player you will get the lossless audio.
I can not wait to get my unit next week. It ships on Sep 18th in Australia :)
