Sony HTSF-2000 - Connection Question

[GingerNinja.net]

I am going to be getting:

• TV - Pioneer PDP-428XD
• Audio - Sony HTSF-2000

I was also going to get a DVD that will upscale a SD DVD to the HD screen I am purchasing, but do I really need to do that?

Would I not be able to connect by existing Toshiba multi-region DVD as follows?:

DVD ---->RGB-SCART---->Sony HTSF-2000---->HDMI---->Pioneer PDP-428XD

From what I have been told, the 428XD will upscale better than a DVD player anyway, so surely routing it through the HSTF-2000 makes sense?

I really don't want to have to upgrade my DVD player until I start going for the Hi-Def DVD's.

Thanks!

The SF2000 doesn't have scart so the best bet is to go DVD --->HDMI --->SF2000 ----> HDMI ----> Pioneer. Most new DVD players all have HDMI now as the standard connection.

Connect your existing DVD player as follows, assuming it has no HDMI

DVD >>> SCART or COMPONET >>> TV
DVD >>>OPTICAL/COAXIAL >>> HSTF-2000

Out of interest, have you found any retailer (online or otherwise) with the HTSF-2000 in stock?

I thought I had, but may have been mislead! Cheaperelectrics.co.uk?
