I think that perhaps you don't quite understand how it all works...
If the TV was unable to perform scaling on analogue signals, then a
standard-resolution DVD played via the component inputs would be shown
in a small box in the centre of the panel surrounded by black bars on
all sides. This is due to the panel, unlike a traditional CRT, having a
'native resolution' which is higher than that of the input.
To put it another way - a £100 TFT monitor with an analogue VGA
connection (the computing world's equivalent of component input) is
capable of scaling the analogue input with no problem: thus, a £1,700 TV
should be able to do it fine.
Please, read the manual. All this is explained within. If you still
don't believe me, borrow a component-out DVD player and connect it up.
If it displays in a small box in the centre of your TV (and has no
option to increase the size via up-scaling), I will *personally* buy you
that $500 Denon DVD player and a nice expensive HDMI cable to go with it.
