Using component cables even HD means you convert the video signal to analog, transmit to TV, then convert to digital again.

Component cables can carry fairly high definition analog images ... they just can't carry any audio at the same time. HDMI cables of course carry both ... for simpler hookups.
Our 58 inch 16:9 widescreen home television does not have HDMI inputs at all. The Blu-Ray DVD player feeding it via component cables provides beautiful high definition images, we just have to run the additional audio cables between the Blu-Ray player and the TV.
Not always is newer better ... sometimes newer is just another way of taking your money again. 😉

Good find. I can't understand why in this day and age, manufacturers still put Jensen DVD players in brand new coaches.
Few guesses:
1) automotive grade blu-ray aren't that common, yes they exist but not for $10 at the wholesale level like the Jensen
2) most coach have small TV ... with the exception of the high 6 and 7 figure priced ones, dvd vs bluray is moot on a 20-40 inch screen.
3) blu-ray itself, despite clear technical superiority is still a niche product. the masses think DVD is "hd", which is not, but good luck telling Joe Lunchbox or Soccer Mom that.
Just like laptops and desktop computers - why do they still come with dvd drives? Bluray doesn't cost more at the retail level, but it must be a lot more expensive at the oem level.
