Yes you will loose the upconversion ability of DVD's if you use component unless you have one of the hacked Oppo players (yes there is a hack that allows upconversion over component) or the Helios H4000. From your previous statements I did not believe your current TV to have HDMI inputs. Please excuse my incorrect assumption. After reading your signature I do see that you have DVI inputs.
