Do most Blu Ray Players do 1080i output as an option?

[donfm]

I have and older Mits Projection TV that only has a DVI-I input for 1080i.
I was told that Blu Ray players have a menu option to set the output at 1080i. So this means I would be able to watch Blu Ray on my set. Is this true?

Most players should support 1080i output, so you can watch them with no problems. DVI-I will support converting from HDMI so you should have no problems.

I have to convert from an HDMI connector from a blu ray player to my TV's DVI-I connection. I have a Mitsubishi rear projection tv WD 65713. My question is will this DVI-I connection carry sound as well as video or will I need to run separate cables for the sound? The connection on my TV is listed as Monolink and the onscreen menu shows I must set up a video connection but there is no setup for audio which leads me to believe it's separate.

DVI does not carry sound.

you need to be wary of hdcp protection. there is a chance that your dvi input doesn't support it in which case you might be out of luck.

Well I don't even know what that is so I don't even know what to look for.

There are ways around that though, but that`s neither here nor there.

I checked my TV is HDCP compatible....no worries.... Thanks for your help.
