Right I am about to give up buying a plasma completely. Its alot of money to get it wrong. Firstly these were the setups I was thinking of, we are on a tight budget but I do want a good system.
Setup 1
Panasonic TH-42PHD
Panasonic TY-42TM6AB BNC Component Video Terminal this is what was advised
Yamaha DSP-AX750 AV Amplifier
Panasonic DMR-E85HEBS DVD Recorder this is what was advised
Velodyne CHT 10 - cant really afford more although love the SPL 1200
Canton CD50 x 5 or if i cant afford that CD50 x 3 (front) CD 10 x 2 rear.
JS Technology RGB to Component (YUV) converter - do i really need this
2m Vandamme Cable 3 RCA to 3 BNC (Component/RGB)
1m Van Damme 3 RCA to 3 RCA (Component)
1m Tech+link Cable Scart to Scart Ribbon
1m Tech+link Cable TOSLink - TOSLink
1m Tech+link Cable 2 RCA to 2 RCA
1.5m Tech+link Cable Scart to 3 RCA Switchable
3m Tech+link Cable 1 RCA to 1 RCA (Mono Audio & Subwoofer)
QED-MICRO QED Micro Speaker Cable (200m drum buy)
Pansonic Table top stand or wall mounted must be tilt & swing - does it make the plasma stick out from the wall too much though.
Cant find any pictures anywhere of hat the table top stand looks like, can you use TH42PW7B stands -still cant find pictures.
Setup 2
or same as above but with TH42PW7B plasma instead, would the cabling be different.
Setup 3
43 Pioneer PDP-435XDE
Yamaha DSP-AX750 AV Amplifier
Panasonic DMR-E85HEBS DVD Recorder
Velodyne CHT 10
Canton CD50 x 5 or if i cant afford that CD50 x 3 (front) CD 10 x 2 rear.
Setup 4
43 Pioneer PDP-435XDE
Pioneer DVR920H DVD recorder -advised this - but too rich for me Is this really necessary
Pioneer VSX-2014-s receiver - advised this - but too rich for me Is this really necessary
Velodyne CHT 10
Canton CD50 x 5 or if i cant afford that CD50 x 3 (front) CD 10 x 2 rear.
Setup 5
43 Pioneer PDP-435XDE
Pioneer DVR420H DVD recorder
Pioneer VSX-1014-s or 814 receiver
Velodyne CHT 10
Canton CD50 x 5 or if i cant afford that CD50 x 3 (front) CD 10 x 2 rear.
For setup one I was advised to run component from the plasma to the amp then from amp connect the VCR (old) using composite & left & right phono.
Also from the amp to Dvdvrecorder use component & also optical. Then from the DVD recorder run scart to Sky box. What I am confused by is what cabling listed above will be going to which items. Also if I go for one of the other plasma setups above will that change on how the system is setup and will I need different cables. I assume that the satelites will go into the amp as will the sub (or is that wrong as the sub has its own amp). I was told to setup this way as the Yamaha will upscale everything that goes through it????? Would the same apply to the Pioneer AV receivers I've listed. Do any on this plasma do rescalling or ewhat ever its called and do I need it
I have also been told that none of these plasmas may work when HD is broadcast by Sky so is there any point in spending the money on HD screens and what may possibly be required to ungrade each one
JS Technology RGB to Component (YUV) converter and would this be connected between the the amp and the plasma. Is it only needed for the Panny plasma and what exactly is it for
I am sorry for all the questions but am about to give up and stick with my trusty CRT. If anyone can help feel free to PM me and give me laymen answers if poss.
Thanks
