Laptop VGA out to component in cable with a Pionner VSX-919AH-K receiver - HELP???

I have the Pioneer VSX-919AH-K receiver, it states that it has Analog to Analog Video Up/Down Conversion
and Analog to HDMI Video Up Conversion, so if this receiver has these abilities built into it, shouldn't this VGA to 3 Male RCA Component cable work for my attempt to go vga out of pc into receiver, then out of receiver into my hdtv, or monitor to give me a highest quality signal from my PC?

They say that this cable will not work from pc out, but I am thinking it doesn't usually work because what it is going into doesn't have these converters built in.

Here are the links to the cable and receiver.

Laptop VGA out to component in cable with a Pionner VSX-919AH-K receiver - HELP???

I'm trying to get the highest possible resolution from my laptop into my monitor, and eventually into a hdtv. Here are the details of how I plan to do this - my laptop has only a VGA out, but according to the graphic card specs, it has the ability to use a component adapter, which can be set to different HD resolutions (link below), so I plan to run a component cable from that adapter into the component in on a Pioneer VSX-919AH-K receiver, then go from the hdmi out of the receiver into a samsung 2033sw computer monitor with a hdmi to dvi cable, and then eventually a hdmi to hdmi cable to a hdtv being according to the receiver specs it has Analog to HDMI Video Up Conversion, hoping that I will get the best resolution and ease of hook up possible from this laptop. Thoughts? Also if that method through the receiver will not work, my second plan of action is to buy a component to dvi cable and run that from the adapter straight into my monitor. will any of this work, any thoughts on my process?
