Best Answer

Bluray players usually have a high definition output and a standard definition output. HD outputs are always on HDMI ports so a standard definition disc will only be up-converted on the HDMI output. Analog outputs are restricted to standard definition to prevent copying of HD content. HDMI signals are encoded to prevent copying of most commercial material.

It is worth noting that when a standard definition disc is up-converted the resulting signal will not be HD quality. Although it will be delivered in an HD signal format, the conversion does not add detail to the original material. Sometimes the up-conversion will give the appearance of better quality so it is worth trying the up-converted output to see if the final image looks better.
