Hello,
I'm about to take the plunge and order a Panasonic AE100 for our new (Still a junk room at the moment) AV room and I have a number of questions (If you get bored just answer one and let someone else do the next! Ta!): -
Firstly I am planning on arranging a demo with a local dealer but I've got the feeling that they will charge a lot more than the prices you lot are quoting here for buying online. Would you say it's worth the risk to order online with a pixel check bearing in mind the problems with some of the units that have been purchased already?
My next problem is connections: -
I need to connect my DVD Player (Panasonic A160) and an X Box (Just got it last week! My eyes are starting to bleed!).
I am going to be running the sound through my Denon AVR1601.
The DVD player to PJ isn't too much of a prob since it has an S-Vid out which I will connect to the pj S-Vid in. (Don't think I can stretch to a new DVD player with component out's)
The X Box is a different matter! Can you get a converter for the advanced scart to change the S-Vid or RGB into Component?
My next problem is getting Dolby Digital from both my DVD player and the Xbox!
My Denon has both coaxial and optical digital in's but the DVD player only has Optical out and as far as I can tell you can only get an optical out from the Xbox!
Is there a converter to take you from optical to coaxial or vice versa!
And lastly what's the latest on stock levels, prices and are there any deals on at the moment for free screens? If not I am going down the MDF Icestorm route until our finances recover!!
Cheers in advance!
