Hey
Firstly i apologise for this long post just a bit of a struggle to ask my question clearly as possible. After a good while of considering all the screens available at the moment ive decided to go with the LG rz 42px11 and also the Sony Dav sc8. The problem now is to get the best out of both of them.
I keep getting mixed up with all the cables though.
Heres a list of the LG's ports best to worst:
1) DVI
2) VGA
3) Component
4) RGB Scart
5) SVideo Scart or SVideo cable
6) Composite SCART or Composite RCA (the often yellow cable)
7) Antenna
So i get a high quality component lead from the dvd to tv but the problem is i will be using digital satelite on it as well (sky). On the back of some of the digi boxes it has an optical port and so does the dvd player. A customer advisor in a shop i was looking at the screens said i could hook up the dvd and sky with the optic line but i didnt get a chance to ask how.
At a guess its: tv to dvd with a component lead then an optical to the dvd?
Only prob is i thought optic lines were sound only? Do i need a component from the sky to the dvd plus the optic for high quality sound? Or would it be better to have the sky box with a compnent lead only going directly to the tv?(no optic on the tv tho)
thanks if youve read all of this and id be grateful for help
