I'm not ENTIRELY sure, But, Since the HD-DVD player requires the small wavelength of a blue lazer to read the disk, I'm assuming that normall DVD players won't play HD-DVD's. I have never tried it though.
If your DVR has a built in DVD player, yes.
1. Put in DVD 2. Open DVD Player 3. Press play 4. Enjoy.
In order to get the full HD experience you need an HDMI cable to connect a DVD/VCR combo to an HDTV.
You insert the DVD into the DVD player. If no screen comes up on the television, then, make sure all the cords on the back of the DVD player are connected correctly to the television set.
you use a 3-pron connector (yellow. red, white) in to the input in the playstation 2 or portable DVD player.
To play a HD DVD you need a HD DVD player. A standard DVD player will not play a HD DVD, nor will a Blu-ray player. HDMI is just a connection: it won't give your standard DVD player superpowers.

* No you cannot, you need an HD-DVD player to play HD-DVD's * * HD-DVD is a brand of high definition DVD, just like "Sony" is a brand of electronics. Since an HD-DVD is its own brand and competes with Blu-Ray, the other brand of high definition DVD, it is proprietary and can only be played on HD-DVD brand DVD players. An upconverting DVD player is a DVD player that takes standard definition DVD's (in 480p) and uses digital technology to upconvert them to a 1080i or 1080p definition.
The PS3 has an inbuilt Blu-Ray player. Which basically is a HD player.
Which HD DVD?
HD DVD is an obsolete format: Toshiba stopped supporting it in February 2008. You still see the players around in discount stores, but no-one is making the discs anymore. The remaining format for high definition DVD is blu ray. To play a HD DVD disc (assuming you have one) you need a HD DVD player (it will also play standard DVDs). For a blu ray disc you need a blu ray player (it will also play standard DVDs). A standard DVD player will not play either HD DVD or blu ray, and cannot be altered so that it will play either (a standard DVD player uses the wrong kind of scanning laser).
