Hi all,
I think I have finally narrowed my choice down to the Pioneer 668 (which a local retailler is offering me at £500). I have the following questions and wondered if any of you guys (and gals) have the answers please ??? :
1. Is the Pioneer 668 a good player ??
2. The Pioneer sports an HDMI output and my TV (Samsun 43 LCDRP) sports a DVI input - I have ascertained they are compatible (The DVI supports HDCP which the Pionner HDMI needs). My question is: Will the DVI input offer better quality than the Component Video Progressive Scan input??? I am assuming the Progressive Scan is irrelevant with DVI ? Am I correct ?
3. Does anybody know a uk supplier for HDMI-DVI cables/adaptors.
4. Would I get a better quality picture by building an HTPC instead of the 668 - Tech knowledge is no problem and budget is not an issue ! help !
Thanks in advance
