To my surprise, I popped a Sony DVD (Flywheel) into my HD A2 only to find that it warned me it would not play in upscaling due to copy protection. I've got Firmware 4.0 installed. Why would this occur? I thought HD DVD players would upscale standard DVDs without exception.

Are you outputting through HDMI? If you output through component it won't upscale.

You mean composite right? Component are the red, green, and blue jacks while composite are yellow, white, and red.

Upscaling is permitted via HDMI only.

From what I understand that is correct. 480p is what you get from component cables.

The HD-A2 should upscale all DVD's to all displays with HDMI input. Some displays with DVI input only are not HDCP compliant and will not permit upscaling of protected DVD's with the HD-A2. If you have a display with HDMI input and are not using HDMI>DVI, try it again and play with the order of power on. It might be the display needs to be powered on first or vice versa.
