Depending on the quality of the set's upconversion a progressive scan player isn't necessarily a must have. Sony crt based rptvs have very good upconversion, still do 480p with or without 3/2 pulldown rather than 540p/1080i.

A separate line doubler between a non-progressive player and an HD capable tv will probably cost several times what a really good progressive scan player will cost.

I prefer not to push the subwoofers until they\'re properly run in.
