That's gonna be expensive, you have an HD box? or are you talking about connecting the dvd player to it through hdmi?

Re: my new TV and surround

go to best buy, but don't buy the hdmi-dvi cables in the tv dept...go to the computer dept and save $$.

i bought a 42" plasma at the beginning of football season. wireless keyboard/mouse and my desktop computer=surfing the web from the comfort of my recliner.

bose surround and sony dolby dig receiver makes for a great experience paired up w/ my new tv...i've watched more tv/movies the past 2 months than i have in the past year.

I jsut spent $5300 on a tv and $2200 on a dvd/surround (plus tax)
I don't mind spending $100 on a cable if its gonna make my tv picture worth every penny :>

Re: my new TV and surround

Ive been researching this stuff for a while. HDMI is nothing more than DVI w/ Sound.

What outputs does the DVD Player have for Sound/Video?

Is this one of those, Receiver / DVD Player's in one?

use a DVI cable. and Optical for your surround.

scttydb411...HMDI - HDMI or HDMI-DVI?

it depends on what input your tv has...mine has dvi so i could use an hdmi-dvi from my dvd. i don't use the sound from the tv since i have the bose/sony surround. i use s-vid from my sat rec to tv and dig opt from the rec to surround. i use component vid from dvd to tv and dig coax from the dvd to surround. i could go hdmi-dvi from dvd to tv, but i didn't feel like going out and getting the cable...the dvd player actually came w/ hdmi-hdmi cable and it wasn't that expensive...the cable costs almost as much as i spent on the dvd player. i was very suprised to see the cable in the box when i opened it up.
