What is the difference between a blu-ray player that has 1080p output vs. 1080p upconversion?

I thought that all blu-ray players output in 1080p. Is this not the case?

Answer
You can tell the player to output in 480, 720 or 1080 resolution.

Sony players will output 1080i out the component cable jacks, but not 1080p. For copy protection reasons you only get 1080p from the HDMI jack with Sony BluRay players.

Also - BluRay players will up-convert standard DVD's to what ever resolution you say - but this only works using a HDMI cable. If you use analog cables - you only get 480 resolution. (This is not bad as most televisions also up-convert from 480 to their internal resolution).

What is analog used for in Blu-ray discs and players?

My receiver I would hook a blu-ray player to is a DenonAVR988 and can decode DTS but thats all I know

Also whats the difference between HDMI output and Analog output

Answer
Are you talking about 7.1 analog channel outputs on the back of Blu-ray player ? These are used for connecting to an old receiver ( no DTS-HD MA or Dolby True HD decoder on board ) with 5.1 or 7.1 analog channel inputs to receive analog signal that converted HD sound format into PCM. It is a good thing to enjoy HD sounds without having a HD capable receiver.
