Will the HD upscaling feature of Philips dvd player work even if i only use a regular tv?

I purchased just couple of days ago a Div-X dvd player. the brand is Philips and model is DVP5965. It has hd upscaling features and usb support and divx ultra. Well i was amazed by how it improves the picture quality of any video i play. I compared it with the video quality of my PC (I ran the same videos simultaneously to compare) and i was like WOW! The colors are richer, and the quality of the pic is very good in my new dvd player. but i am curious about using hdmi feature since i haven't tried this feature before, and it is turned off in my menu maybe because i don't have an hdmi cable (it wasn't supplied on my purchase of this dvd player). I want to purchase it because i've heard and read on the internet comments about how the hd upscaling has further improved GREATLY the video quality. But the problem is I don't have an HDTV (Widescreen flat TV or whatever). I'm only using an average TV. It's not flat, it's not lcd or plasma.....i repeat it is just an AVERAGE tv. ????

Chances are that your non-HDTV television does not have an HDMI input. HDMI was designed for hi-def (it means High Definition Multimedia Interface). Thus you can't use the player's HDMI output. You probably will see very little improvement as your set is limited to a max of 480 lines of resolution at the most. I would suggest that you playback in standard definition, so that the player is not trying to generate a signal that is not there to be display on a set that cannot display it.
